Really, that's a topic for april fools day. Check this one. http://www.verticalmeasures.com/search-optimization/google-seo-agency-google-seo-2010/
I didn't think that could be true.. I would say Google is smarter than that. Google already offers free tips to everyone in their Google Webmasters area.. They tell us everything we need to know to ethically design our sites for Google, I highly doubt they will do more than that.
I am pretty sure they didn't say that, they have the power to rank websites however they want, they don't need to work on Search Engine Optimization. LOL
I personally think that it wont happen. In my opinion, Google will shoot their own legs if they gonna do so.
i would not hire google to do my SEO for me , its going to be too much white hat SEO and its actually does not make much sense
Yea, there is no way. How could they possibly charge people money to rank higher on their own platform. There would be no way to get around the legality of it.
What would happen though if one day instead of PPC it was just a case of the more you pay the higher you will appear?!
Google getting into SEO is indeed a good idea because all the people out their keep vying for good SEO techniques and who better than google can tell what not to do .
It is not possible for Google because if itself goes into SEO then generally webmasters may doubt as they may not rank well if they do not to go for SEO from Google.
