Come on! I will spend several minutes write the following with my passion and hatred of what google is becoming due to “capitalized” internet!!
You never find useful info. again using google! Not saying never, but I would say the hot Keywords, if you search for them, all the top results will be either wiki, youtube, facebook, twitter, amazon, ebay, and other business, also one more, blogs. What are those very useful infos? They are dieing and buried thanks to the internet market competitions! Do you think you can find a true non-biased result for “company ABC’s facts”? I assure you now, without actually searching it, there will be this company’s facebook, wiki, and twitter stuffed on the first page google SERPs.
Also, some sites featuring offer company profiles will pop up there. But none of them are the facts you are looking for. That ABC company is doing business! all the SERPs on the first page directs to ABC’s affiliated sites, and is trying to sell to you ABC’s service/products! Thanks to the SEO efforts and ugly stuffed KWs, and back links built to that site!! And a ture researchers interesting research on that company will never be found on the first page. Yeah, almost, SEO is evil. Just like people changes the order of the nature, and disaster will come some how like the drought due to the Chinese Sanxia dam. SEO is changing the order of natural google algorithms. The algorithm is unfair now. Hopefully, Bing is not going to do the same thing since not many SEOs are focused on Bing. Google is broken, like a old man with broken organs.
Anyway, what Bing is doing is nothing but Google. Can you imagine in a market there is little or no competition? Despite the fact that Google is losing 30% of the Market share to Bing, google is still dominating? It is hurting the users. Google is aquiring tons of great service under its corporation such as Blogger. As experience is telling us, a corporation growing too big is easy to crash. Google is never a search engine any more, it is everything, and it is another word for internet.
I thought internet used to be a place every one is equal as long as you have the quality content, but soon, it will be a place where only rich sites who can afford SEO enjoy.
