Google Are The Biggest Hypocrites

Arrhh, Paulgl, I knew you will drop by to defend your bride to be.

No pining from me: my sites actually soared in the rankings yesterday/today.

It is all about Hypocrisy. Google advocates what is fair play online but they themselves do not adhere to it.

Yes Paul, their profits will soar --no one is arguing that-- but they are doing it as a ruthless company.

People can complain about Google all day long and it will serve them no good, but on the same token - you can defend them as much as you like and they will screw you over when it suits them.

So everyone at the bottom loses but your position as Google's defender on the WF always adds spice to the conversation.

And making a comparison between Fox and Google is completely baseless. Please enlighten me how an entertainment group that promotes one of its programs on a property that it owns compares to a Search Engine that is peddling its wares (a phone) to information seekers?

This is because Crapdroid is on other lower tier smsrtphones and the large cesspool of crappy apps on android is just not cutting it when compared to Apple.

Where is this article ? google's CPC has gone down the last quarter. Facebook has seen a boost.

Hi Paul

It is always enjoyable reading this and I enjoy your inputs. As much as I would like to agree with you I have several constructive criticism for Google.

Yes Google is a business but as every business in the USA there are some RULES! Did you forget United States v. Microsoft. Using your same line of thought then Microsoft could have won that case by saying I create the OS then I can put the web browser I want on it. WRONG!!! Microsoft lost the case.

Now, here is how it operates in Google these days. Since you talked about profits and compared those to facebook lets got to it.

What is happening now is that for every 1M dollars invested in Google stock holders are loosing about 5.6K YTD. Google stock is down 5.8 YTD compared to the REST of the market that is up. Since it seems you are a big fan of Google and its android phone lets take Apple (the most valuable company in the planet). For every 1M dollar invested in Apple, stock holders are winning 500K YTD. WOW that is what I call a great ROI.

So what happens is that the Board of directors get pissed at the CEO due to the poor stock performance. Larry Page & the gang develops the strategy to get more earning and better performance on the stock. How you get better earning by selling more PPC. Who are the people not buying PPC? The big corporations, CNN, New York Times, Facebook, etc. Since they do not but PPC it does not matter and they should rank top 10 on the SERPs. You squeeze the SERPs and force the medium and small business into the PPC and thereby increase your earnings. That is when Page talk to Cutts and he adjust the algo to force PPC.

That is what Pandas is all about. Forget about links, quality and more boring stuff that Cutts always says.

Now, since Jan 2012 I just forgot about Google. I have been working more on Bing and Facebook. My legal company name that is covered by ABC news, ZDNet, etc can not be found on Google after this update, just imagine how little I can benefit from Google. But the strategy has paid out. Today, my advertisement earning has triple. My traffic has triple and I am on the top 10 for many terms on Bing. The traffic coming from Facebook is at all time highs. Traffic coming from Google at all times low.

What does it means? Take control of your business and move on and forget about Google there are countless ways of creating traffic, etc. At the end if you have a good site and is excluded from Google it is only Google that is passing the opportunity of presenting good information in the SERPs
