Its not like I am in love with google, its not like my sites are #1 or anything in the rankings, but even if it wasnt google, lets say it was some other search engine that dominated the market share, you still end up with people upset about their websites ranking position. ok, lets look at arcade scripts (http://myarcadeplugin.com/) there are possibly 65962 websites right now, all using the same script -> not all of them are going to be able to be on page 1 at the same time! You are then going to always have people gaming the system, and then they are going to have to try to organise and make sense of the data. With google owning so much of the internet, I cant help but be reminded of this: ref: http://searchengineland.com/simpsons-future-google-104570 I know what you mean, google does rely on content from webmasters, otherwise it would be utterly useless, but can you expand on your statement some more. If you blocked google, where would 90% of your traffic come from? Just humor me, what would happen if every webmaster in america blocked google from indexing their websites? No doubt it would be the same game, just different players.
Hey Everyone, If we're so good, why rely on Big G, we can innovate the next big thing ... However, my competencies have not allow me to do so ...
Well.. they are somewhat a hundred billion dollar company so that's that. And also, you don't really have to play their game but you will if you want to get into internet marketing. They make the rules, it's up to you to follow it or not, just don't expect too much good out of your work if you don't play the rules.
