More on Evil Google.

So yesterday I asked when Google will turn evil. Today am getting an answer. It has already started. Google is now asking you, me and everyone to report when they think someone is using paid links. Meaning for instance I offer you $20 to put my link on your site. Google is also asking that all paid links be indicated as such to Google so they know not to count them

I understand rules against using hidden links and trying to deceive the search engines. Those are generally related to spam sites. What I see happening is Google does not want anyone taking a piece of their pie. Google make a large amount of money by selling links, but they don’t want you to.

Google says this will make the internet better. They don’t want pages to be ranked high that do not earn their incoming links. This is an understandable statement, but also brings questions to my mind. Why not focus attention on eliminating the spam websites by having someone actually look at them. I feel like we have built a strong website, but on many keywords there are sights that promote spam and piracy that come up higher in the search results. I also often see these sites promoting spam and piracy in the Google paid links.

Google’s path to evil and to self destruction has started. The real question is who is going to step up in the next few years to take Google’s place as the number one search engine.
