Google’s Mistake…

Emil at 10:51 am on Tuesday, November 29, 2005


No one can deny that Google’s PR system has greatly affected the way webmasters look at linking structure, partners, and even their websites, sometimes simply defining a site by its PR, thus compromising the usefulness and content of the site, while simply focusing on linking with partners or buying links. In my opinion both of these methods are inorganic forms of SEO, even though buying links seems to be more controversial. The whole organic aspect of linking and Google’s PigeonRank™ method are taken out, resulting in a false representation of popularity.

Even though some would argue that the PR epidemic could not be avoided one way or the other, to which I would agree, I think that Google made a huge mistake making PR public and I believe as the web grows they will see the huge mistake they have made as they will struggle to keep their results accurate people will look for other SEs and the door will open for MSN and Bill Gates, who will have no trouble slapping Google around while it’s down…

Some food for thought:

Isn’t it easier to get links to good quality sites than poor quality ones?

Aren’t you more likely to gain unsolicited links for good quality sitse?

A good quality site will likely have an easier time making money off their ad dollars, so wouldn’t they also have an advantage in paid link building?
