Since when does Google make the rules about the Internet? Who gave them that power and where are the Google-made rules for the Internet listed? Why does the Internet need to follow Google's rules? Without the Internet, Google would be nothing more than a bunch of machines that have nothing to do. The Internet has been around for decades. Google hasn't even been around for one. They have no right to call the shots on what is fair on the Internet. Also, if these are Google's longstanding rules, why were they not enforcing them for at least a year? Seems like they make these rules, but then pick and choose which ones they want to enforce. If Google wants to have a fair ranking system, they need to rethink their algorithm to actually measure a site's popularity, instead of basing their ranking system on a bunch of self-made rules.Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11303468413860003657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399365622349919873.post-58565735635263310372007-12-13T13:21:00.000-07:002007-12-13T13:21:00.000-07:00left a comment on the other post, so i won't bother with the disclaimer again :P<BR/><BR/>as i see it you're swinging the hammer but not really hitting the nail...<BR/><BR/>google is popular because of it's ability to but the accurate stuff on top, and ofcourse the can control it, it's their stuff :P<BR/><BR/>but 1. a PR0 blog in comparison to a PR3 blog simply because a hard link from a PR0 blog doesn't weight anything, why pay for a link that isn't worth anything for your PR?<BR/><BR/>2. your wife broke the rules, google could have banned her from being indexed at all if they wanted too - she can get her PR reinstated again, if she adds "nofollow" tags to all her paid posts, but then she's breaking PPP's rules, and gets banned from there instead.<BR/><BR/>"The time has come to take this power away so the ranking of websites can be fair and unbalanced again."<BR/><BR/>it is to <B>NOT</B> get it unbalanced google is doing this, they want people to link to others because of that they contains material that people likes - not because their paid to do so.<BR/><BR/>take the election for president, would you consider it fair if it was legal for candidates to actually buy votes?<BR/>links is votes for google...<BR/><BR/>I write this not to be hated, or because I like Google <I>that</I> much, but starting to hate Google and slander them because your wife were punished for breaking the rules when she <I>is breaking them</I> seems like trying to have and eat the cookie at the same time (and make interest of it too).chosighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07447513414626127061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399365622349919873.post-60962053373211206632007-12-13T11:12:00.000-07:002007-12-13T11:12:00.000-07:00You are totally nailing it on the head with these posts!!!

Makes me almost want to pay for my own host, except that Blogger is so easy to use and free :P Kind of annoying that the bad guys make good products lol. I don't use Google search much anymore though.Karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06825366006877044399noreply@blogger.com
