Google needs SEO itself!

    I searched for "Search Engines" without the quotes in guess what? GOOGLE. I found Google as the 6th entry. Do they need Search Engine Optimization? :eek:

    For "Search Engine", Google ranks 5th in Google itself :D ...

    Yes they do - and unfortunately they do not use ethical techniques * cough * cloaking * cough

    This following article explains it all and explains how they were caught with their pants down.

    What will really ruffle your feathers is their lame excuse of why they did this

    You are already on Google when you search, would that be silly to put Google as the #1 search result, what do you think :confused: :cool:

    We are talking about searching for the keywords "Search Engine" on Google.

    Do you think that Google needs to come up #1 for search engine when your on Google searching for Search Engines :confused:

    I'd figure they wouldn't even include themselves.....

    If I put my directory listing in my directory search it would look kinda cheezy.....

    Same thing for Google IMO...

    It's good that Google is not listed as the #1 result. There would no doubt be a 'suspicious activity alert' popping up in some people's minds if they were.

    BTW why is this thread in the Website Reviews forum?

    hahahaha actually it wouldn't be bad to exclude it from the search because you don't do a site search but an internet search :-D

    the only good thing is that I rank #1 or at least Top 10 for all my sites that aren't even listed at Google at these other search engines.
