Nearly all my gambling related listings have disapeared or are buried so deep i’m getting zero traffic from them (spiders are still crawling hundreds of my webpages).
At the same time my online pharmacy listings seem unaffected????
There seems to be no logic to these new results. Google can do whatever they want, but it seems unethical to terminate half the listings in the database for no good reason.
I’m all ready hearing talk of people having to sell thier homes and relocate and these are people involved in non competitive industries such as gift baskets.
Google are pricks.
Amen to that. Antoine hit the nail on the head. This is total bullshit and has no upside whatsoever. Not for webmasters, not for searchers, not for online retail sales. This single move will probably result in millions of dollars lost in seasonal sales for everyone while Google smuggly sits back and waits for their IPO. How is that good for the US economy? How is it good for our country or business community?
Where the hell is the SEC when we need them? This is stock manipulation and it’s illegal. Google has a defacto Monopoly and is crushing out jobs and free enterprise in its dominance and through these heavy handed marketing ploys.
I’ve been noticing a trend that i really dont like. Out of the 20 first results for all searches, there’s almost always an amazon book, a page from lycos, pages from substandard search engines, and a page from the yahoo directory.
If i wanted to search from those other search engines i would have went there first. If i wanted a book i would add the word ‘book’ at the end of my query. I love reading more than the average person but when i’m looking for something i want a website not a book, if i did i’d head to amazon.
These results have nothing to do with quality. Does anyone have any idea when yahoo is dumping google? All i see here are corporate listings. It’s also a little ludicrous to expect that the average person has to spend countless hours a day to learn what google wants for the privilege of being listed.

Amazon amazon amazon….
This morning a site title gambling2.de came up under gambling, it had gamesandcasino.com listed as a description and when I clicked it I went to amazon.
I went back soon after that and it had changed already.
Amazon is everywhere, I keep getting it as a search result….
