now google owns yahoo and other major search engine, they pretty much controls the internet. it seems like every site needs google and google can do whatever they want..........monopoly
Google doesn't own Yahoo. In fact, Google was not in the tussle to get Yahoo. Google only signed a contract with Yahoo with regards to advertising. Anyways, Google is a monopoly already. If Google were to get Yahoo (incredibly unlikely since Google will get sued because of anti-monopoly action), then Google would be near unstoppable. Though, not forgetting that the once-almighty Yahoo toppled because of Google, we could just wait for a new Google rival to appear.
I think google is not after monopoly, they just want to be on top together with the services they could give and not just after the profit.
The problem with Google is Google itself. There are only 10 returns on the first page for any keyword(s). Google may be the top tier in search engines and ad revenue but in terms of traffic I get more through backlinks and reciprocal links with other sites. I basically gave up on trying to jockey for SERPs along time ago simply because it was an area that I have absolutely no control over. What may work today is gone tomorrow. Why waste time chasing Google when you could spend less time and build the traffic that will stay. In terms of Monopoly when it comes to traffic its the social networking sites that have the power. This is the reason why Google bought Youtube. I could see Google buying Myspace before Yahoo.
Today, Google is the no.1 search engine.. no doubt about it! but we are on the internet field, everything changes quickly. We can't say Google will still be number 1 in the future. And that's the reason why they keep on finding ways to control the internet for much longer time. Google owning yahoo is such an excellent idea. But I'm pretty sure that Google does not own Yahoo yet.
Google doesn't own Yahoo. Yahoo will be soon Microsoft's property But you're right - webmasters rely a lot on Google nowadays. That's not a surprise. Most of the traffic comes from Google.
Hey guys take chil pil , look at the post buddies he is a newbie , so let him go . Buddy please do read the posted content one time before publishing him .
google is number 1 .. but anybody can take their position quickly.. but no one seems to bother about internet business.. as there is no gurantee of return in this business so people who have lots of wealth are in real estate business or some corporate businesses that fulfils mass peoples demand..
