When—If Ever—Can You Trust Google?

Can You Trust Google?

 

In Google, we trust. A few days ago, though, Google did something that has to call into question whether the search and advertising behemoth is trustworthy. Trust Google? That’s getting harder.

Let me be clear that I’m talking about some very specific stuff here. I still think my decision to start using a Chromebook was a good one, and I feel the same way about my Nexus 7 tablet. And despite Google’s continued tweaking of the way they do search and what it means to your privacy, I’m OK letting the Google pipe stay open all the time in all my devices.

WordPress Cuts Google Out. Here Come The Advertising Wars

Anti-Trust? I don’t think so.

Google, a company that’s become so big in the advertising business that to many people it feels like the Big G is the advertising business, just got a competitor. Wait for it …

It’s WordPress.

WordPress, a site with a Google PageRank rating of 9 (only Google and a couple of other sites get a 10) and the 18th busiest site in the world as of this writing, has decided to start selling advertising directly, cutting Google out of the advertising revenue for web sites hosted by WordPress.

Google Tries to Beat Anti-Trust, Lowers Ranking, Raises It.

How’s your page rank? Better question yet, how’s your PageRank?

You’re forgiven if you don’t know the answers, or don’t even know what PageRank is. But Search Engine Optimization Consultants know, and over the last few weeks Google’s dropped their own PageRank, then raised it again. SEO Consultants are scratching their heads on how and why that would happen, but I think I know the answer:

Google’s afraid of anti-trust legislation being threatened by the United States Congress, and their PageRank fluctuations are a misdirect. And a pretty clever one at that.
