Step back a moment and consider the whole situation. Google is primarily a search engine. They are supposed to deliver what the searcher is looking for.
That should be about the content and quality of the webpage they suggest. So why do links carry so much value in googles determination of which website and page has what the searcher is looking for.
Is it because they can’t figure it out without the help of other sites (in the form of a link). There is a whole industry built up around the concept of links. Which ones to get and how to get them (secretly). Consider how much easier it would be to create a profitable site if we did not have to consider links.
We could really concentrate on content.
The concept of links as a measure of a website relativity has gotten entirely out of control. It is outdated and bogus! Google, give it up already and figure out a better way!
They have the brains and the money to do it!

Interesting show they had years ago that talked about the early startups like yahoo, google and amazon. before google yahoo was a site that was just a simple list of links to sites the guys likes that started it, as they were trying to get a better way to bet on basketball they made a list of websites that could help them, then shared it as Yahoo! then google was the first to look at a way to judge sites by using anchor text and links, hence billions in earnings as now there was a true “search”
Wish I could remember the shows name, they did one history of a site for each show
June 7, 2012 at 2:54 pm #825223CasinoGemMemberI posted a thread yesterday about how I decided to add google plus and because of a company name they wer going to shut down all my google products. For a name, its getting ridiculous all gone to their head.
I hope a new competitor comes in the market soon.

Unfortunately this is not going to happen in the near future.
June 7, 2012 at 3:34 pm #825227bosshoggsMemberDeep thoughts rmeeuswen… And so many valid points. I agree with allfreechips… if you can find a better way, count me in! I would absolutely invest in you.
It’s pretty obvious that Google is trying to take over the online world… What would a competitor have to do to hedge them out of the picture?

Well you never no, I mean years ago you would have thought nothin would replace myspace?
Facebook wasn’t much different just faster and few extra things than myspace better chat and posting.Essentially the same thing.

Just like facebook did to myspace just basically copy google and change add a few things maybe a search engine mixed with a chat or something.
maybe picture comes up on every result. Or video,But yer they probably wont get replaced but you never no , look at myspace, yahoo.
It happens
