    Hmmm,

    If we boycott Google, only webmasters will get burned. First and foremost end users need to boycott Google because the internet will still exist without us.

    We follow the users--it isn't the other way around.

    my friend if you live in USA you must be afraid of Google now. Negative Advertisement and they can drive you to court very easy. Be careful. But i agree with you. Monopoly and will be master of everything in the future. And that because we the internet users are sheeps.

    I love Google. Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Adsense, Adwords, Froogle, Base, Analytics, Alerts, Checkout, Earth. All great stuff for free.

    I'm not about to bite the hand that feeds me.

    Yep, and those that are bit*&ing about it should not take it so personal. I think it all boils down to quality score issues. The bottom line is Google's quality score keeps SERPS much cleaner, like it or not!

    If Google has cleaned your site from their index, maybe it's time to clean up your site for the Google index?

    It is always frustrating when 1 large site manipulates a market, makes me think of microsoft for some reason.

    What you say is true but none of us will be where we are today without Google. It's helped all of us find the answers we seek to almost every question and you have to look at it this way--an information database that the entire world relies on.

    I love everything that Google has to offer, but I do think Google is becoming to powerfull. Google can make or break your website. If your website gets a Google ban, you are screwed!
