Google updated PageRank again, and this time, everything is different. The public message is that Google penalized some websites which sell text links, sounds fair? No, Google is slaughtering small websites, IMO.
Why? As a long time webmater, here is the path of small websites in my view:br /-In the early days, small websites could rank well on Google.
Then every one says Google is not evil. I still remember that I tried to recommend Google’s products to every one I could:
- How accurate Google search is.
- How innovative Gmail is.
- How fun Google Earth is.
- Google becomes strong, tells the webmasters:
- Your site has duplicated content, we have to ban it. Ok, sounds fair.br /Your site gained unnatural links, we have to ban it. Ok, sounds fair.
- Your site was banned, sorry it’s a glitch. But as we don’t manually adjust the ranking, we can do nothing about it. Hmm? Sounds reasonable.
- Now Google is the king of the Internet, they could be evil now.
Small websites have no rankings, can’t sell links either, they are doomed to disappear.
Where should I start to remove Google from my life?
