Google Garbage

[MerleHanson]

Wondering if anyone has any idea what Google is doing or suggestions...


About a year ago went from PR7/8 down to 0... Thought banned... Redid stuff here/there... Eventually crawled back up to a PR4... But now I see PR4 one week and PR0 next week and I make no changes...


So - oneday PR4 - 2 days later - PR0... Then back to PR4 without lifting a finger... Not only that - a search for direct site name/domain - only shows the link pages to my site... Not my actual site - and one site is about 8yrs old - and my dead account with compuserve...


Are these people on Crack or what?

They apparently can not give a sh*t about site owners or developers. Their only focus is on keeping their stock prices up (you can only pump so much air into a balloon, remember 1999).

Prophetic words - I hope Google hears them.


Latest research is showing Googlenow commands only 36% of the searchmarket with Yahoo taking a 29% share and MSN following at 15%.


What a difference 12 months can make. Overture went down a path that dudded their supportersand almost overnight lost their market dominance to Google 3 years ago.


Will history repeat?

For what it's worth - my opinion - often there is no apparent logic to changes on Google.


I think some areas, OP for example, are targeted by Google for testing very radical algorithms.


Google's undoubted aim is to provide best search results and they know the key to their future is experimentation. So, my personal theory is it may be a case of finding themarkets in which to experiment,with poor suckers who can scream but can't be heard.


In the end good well organisedcontent will rise, as Google head towards developing an artificial intelligence to eliminate people trying to be too clever and falsely manipulating the results.


Problem for Googlemay be thelab test rats that may mutate and come back to bite them.

Wild guessing game. There are so many theories and time lost to theories.


In the end nothing will beat good content - I hope.
