subject: Google lost ground [print this page] Google lost ground Google lost ground
A wise man speaks because they have something to say
A fool speaks because they think they need to say something
So, from whom do you think you will hear all the time? Correct! And that is what Google loves? Because it gives them new content. Who here is the real fool? The talker or the one who listens to all the "talking"?
Don't cite me wrong. I am not saying that we shouldn't talk anymore or give up writing, etc., it's rather the opposite. All I'm saying here is;
How can we allow someone (Google) to make a decision over our heads on what we should find when we search for something specific?
How can one body get so powerful on making a decision over what "WE NEED TO FIND" and what we shouldn't?
Before I go further ahead, let me pay my gratitude to Sergey Brin and Larry Page. I do believe, both had a wonderful idea and they created some great tools for the public.
Quite honest though, I can't really follow why Google faces so many problems in China, except, they may try and replace the Chinese Government and take on control over China. How much more stupid can a Western corporate body get? What is wrong with the Harvard Education System these days (then again, after Mark Zuckerberg's stunt we should know) That said, I'd really suggest Google to stay in China and try cutting a deal. That's the best bet they can take.
Seriously, just do a search in Google, any search, I don't care. I bet you get what I get, most the time Google is so proud to throw, e.g., 573.598.646 results at me. There you have it. We found them for you, all of them! (least we hope we haven't forgotten any). Aren't you glad you got Google?
Then Google takes the next step. Regardless on what I really wanted to find, Google employs some rocket brain scientists to figure out some really complicated algorithm that would tell me "well, we don't think you should find this one, you'd better take a look at these one first and if you don't like it, well, there are still 573.598.616 other results for you to check."
It's a bit like my last supplier in China I had, who changed the color of the book cover because they thought "my" color I chose originally wouldn't look that good. Who cares what I want, huh? Here is what we believe you need to want!
Hello folks! Is this what you call a search engine? I wouldrathercall this a "fool engine" it reminds me on that nasty schoolmate we had during primary school who ran around teasing others and then arranging his 10 finger in front his nose-tip, singing "na na na na na, you are a stupid"
Looking at Google I come back to China again. What is Google really complaining about China? Where is the difference between the two? Where? How? What?
Folks, you are way off track. Worse, you allowed Google to brainwash you with the idea on how to interpret the term "Search Engine". Just forget about Google for few seconds and then think about searching and finding (all by yourself). Then you shake your head a little and look at Google again. Would you still call Google a search engine?
OK, Google comes up with these really nicely crafted, smart twisted corporate explanations to set you straight again. Let me ask you, have you ever come across any corporate leg that is kicking their own, their investors's or shareholders's butt - have you? I haven't yet and would like to believe I never will.
Let's move into Google MAD Words for a moment. Is there really much difference between the PPC (which many of you - I pray to the lord - may have discovered already what it really is) andMADwords? Wait a minute it's "business" right? I almost forgot. Well then, let's turn a "free" search engine into the best business money making machine and let's forget about free search. Gosh, what does the public think? They get it really for free?
Personally, Google, I can't speak for other people, but personally I believe
you did a fantastic job breaching your promises while telling the public - they are wrong.
Then you run around building yourself up to some kinda "internet content police" (you should seek MR Bush as your advisor).
You turn your search engine into a 21st century content scrap yard.
Then you use all the scrap to cover other important content only because "YOU" think you should possess all right to decide on what's important and what isn't.(I don't really care on how you twist and bend and even reshape your algos.)
Nothing wrong with positioning yourself front row in business. Business is business. But then, stop telling the public you run a free search engine. Tell the public you run a prosperous business and use their content to make money out of it. Show at least a little sack!
That said, I'd rather stop putting up any new content or disallow you (Google) form taking my content and publishing it on your side so you can get fatter, Google! I don't need you Google and I don't care how far to the end you throw my business because you think it's worth nothing or maybe - a little. Quit frankly, Google, I couldn't care less about your discrimination and disadvantaging policies ... My client know what they get from me and they give me plenty of new business without asking "Google" first. Heck, who do you think you are, Google, really?
