A lot of us get torqued with Google organic search results or other search policies and I like to use those two businesses as one in the same. But what about GMAIL? and the revolutionary GOOGLE VOICE?
So, while I might fully hate and disagree with Google PageRanking policies, I absolutely love everything else they are doing. Love might actually be too weak a word. It's REVOLUTIONARY what they're doing over in Mountain View @ Google and worldwide for collaboration.
I can see the spawn of these great ideas as they are likely seeded in necessity. Google has people in Europe so they need to collaborate. They build Google Wave. Wave, folks, is going to change the way we collaborate. You see, having worked in hosted Application development, the challenge Google had before them was to overcome scalability and network issues associated with large-scale application delivery. I tried it back in 1999/2000 and there were SIGNIFICANT problems with both network availability and compatability within user systems.
Google successfully built the infrastructure from the ground up...down the actual computer hosting the data...all engineered by Google. You're hopping on an engineering chain of successful application, network, and information storage and delivery when you use any Google application. I'm trying to convey the breadth of their feat. Have I made it clear? Probably not enough. I stand in awe of Google and their accomplishments from a professional perspective, as a colleague would.
So, when I express my extreme disappointment that Google hasn't somehow found a friggen way for all of us to make money (no, just just friggen AdSense) in this great adventure of Internet information delivery because that's all we are right? In terms of Internet presence, we are what we output. I am referring to Google's policy on penalization of sites with Paid Linking monetization strategies.
Google's irrational, and out-of-character arrogance on the stance on Paid Links PageRank Penalization is, to me, one of only a few massively effecting, and disappointing decisions made by the WEB SPAM and PAGERANKING teams at Google. To be honest, I don't know which Google entity is responsible for manual penalization of websites according to data submitted over PAID LINKING through Google's webmaster tools.
Now, hearing someone gripe about their recent reduction in PageRank is a lot like hearing a bad-beat story in Texas Holdem. Sorry, no one cares. It's just a harsh reality of the game.
