rants about google

[theiceman]

I did a Google SERP search last night for my target search phrase "Cincinnati wedding photographers" and THE EXACT SAME webpage came up listed in positions #2 and #3!

The only difference in the cached versions were the AdSense ads on the page. I fired a complaint off to help@google.com and this morning only one of the listings for the page shows up.

I told google that I don't mind a page beating me out of a position, but for that same page to simultaneously beat me out of two positions...well, I found that hard to take!!

Also, I signed up on Decideo.com and put a link there with my search phrase as anchor text. Did I move up from low 60's? No. But they immediately moved up into the top 3 for my search phrase!! That sucks! They got way more boost out of my link on their page than I did!!

Also, I've seen EBAY start to post on directories a starting phrase line "Find Cincinnati Wedding Photographers on EBAY...along with anything else you are looking for!

Now, you know that they are spamming for every search phrase they can think of just to get their plug in for EBAY. This also, sucks!

It seems that Google has taken over my life completely!! Trying to get links, trying to get higher PR! There isn't time for anything else in my life!!!! Does Google realize how many lifes they are wrecking by playing the PR SERP Links game with people's minds?

iceman,

This is why good SEO/SEM firms are not cheap -- tough out there ain't it? But, for those who can afford a good SEO, there's PLENTY of time for lots of other things in life.

Does Google realize how many lifes they are wrecking by playing the PR SERP Links game with people's minds?

Probably, but do you really think Google cares about the wrecking of your life?
