I think it is even more sinister...
At the beginning of every financial quarter, Gozizzle and Yohizzle change their algorithms.
Why you ask? Riddle me this Batman! Could it be….
A.) To keep everyone honest?
B.) To better give YOU, the end user, a better experience?
C.) To make sure that the most pertinent pages rank the best?
D.) Allow
SEO workers (no pun intended Webnauts) to make a living?
OR could it be…
E.) To make money for the Gozizzle investors and Wall Street so that all us little smucks, when the algorithms do change, will then have to run to Adwords/Sense and pay and pay to get back on the first page and meet our internal estimates for our little businesses. Hell, now the big boys will have to go running too!
It is all a scam. The last great chance was DMOZ and they are now either too lazy or too corrupt (you can buy placement now if you know where to look) to be a real contender. And now that Micosoizzle just bought into FaceBook (for $240Million US) for the advertising end of it… well that site will now become just one more whore platform.
WOW, what do I really think?
