Google getting back to normal

[RawAlex]

Linkster, SEO comments written by people who either are not doing SEO or are doing it "blind" (fixing up a customer page but not actually running anything yourself) makes for a very distant view of the reality of Googleworld.

My take on google is this: The change the algo when they see excessive spam from any one direction (be it blogs, link dumps, crap pages, whatever) and they attempt to implement new filters to take care of whatever problem they feel they have. Then next 5 algo changes come as a result of trying to fix the huge screw up the original change was.

I also think they randomly add and remove "factors" from the algo at each step to assure that the results are not predictable, and as a result, the methods used to gain those position in the lists is not as predictable either.

I also think that at this point, google is bordering on total failure as an SE, as they seem bent on filtering out more and more good content, and replacing it with crap.

When companies hire a bunch of hotshots from great schools and don't take the time to educate them on company history (past fuckups) this is what happens.
I'm sure there is some VP at Google screaming: " I hope your fucking resume was on one of the sites we can't find, asshole!" |samauri|
