    It has the power to do what it wants. It's a Company with REAL people remember?
    I wonder why most people think of Google as an entity or like the T1000? :D

    I hope we always remember that WE HAVE NO RIGHT OVER THEIR COMPANY and how they control it.

    I have read article and saw no where said they would punished on popular site. They just give their state to eliminate some of spam sites (subdomain flood, sites with most duplcated contents, etc.) by hiring human to watch and judge results for "some" keyword. As you may know there are millions keyword out there so most of keyword which got spam are the popular broad keyword such as "hotel" "travel" "computer".

    In my opinion, this is not good to use human intervention to alter any SERPs but they have the right to do it, especially if they tend just to keep quality of search results, not penalized site for their own commercial benefits.

    Therein lies the problem. Google has unnaturally become the search authority due to popularity and NOT because of relevant search results. Live.com produces MUCH more relevant organic search results, but because surfers assume that Google is the best they have become the measure by which the net is judged.

    Google optimizes their ranking results for one reason: to improve advertising sales. Google is not a very good repository of accurate information. They are a great advertising entity and that is about the end of the list.

    They will continue to change serps to meet their need to produce more ad revenue. They will continue to reduce payouts to Adsense publishers in order to increase their share of the revenue.

    Please do not for one minute assume that they are producing relevant listings. If there is relevancy it is a accident and not by initial design.
