Yeah, link aggegrators are a waste of space. Googles link economy is not going to last either, its all about likes and social recommendations in the future

I’m not there often enough, but I’m lucky to be living on a peninsula, so we’re surrounded with water and leisure boats anchored everywhere, pelicans, parrots and cockatoos. It’s a digital stone age here, but the lifestyle make up for the loss in creative buzz. As long as I have an internet connection!

That place looks beautiful and your post reminds me of the need to STOP thinking about work every now and again. If a place like that was 20 mins away from London I’d be there every weekend, in theory at least.

Have to agree, the Google search monopoly is bad news for all parties – users, advertisers, agencies and publishers. Hopefully BingHoo (or something) will level the playing field and give the big G a wake up call. They’ve being messing around with search a lot recently, in the last few months their has been Instant, Places, Caffeine and more ( see my blog post http://www.saleemyaqub.com/new-google-places ). They have to innovate and satisfy their shareholders with profits but if they are not careful they might inadvertently kick start an exodus to BingHoo. Their grassroots concept of ranking sites based on backlinks does not really fit with social media and bolting social media on top of PageRank is not going to work. Google Wave was a relative failure and Buzz is nowhere near Twitter. Nothing lasts forever and we will see a lot more ‘social algorithms’ and ‘recommendation engine’ type services coming out over the next few years, one of them is going to make it big.

Now that Bing and Yahoo have merged I don’t really see what other option there would be unfortunately. Bing offers good features for users and have worked on their UX a lot more than Google. Google’s focus is increasingly turned to profits, profits and more profits. Last evidence is the Google Keyword Tool that will only return commercially viable suggested keywords. Google are now keeping their keyword inventory to themselves, making the use of Adwords a compulsory step toward optimisation for organic results (see http://www.aimclearblog.com/2010/10/07/r-i-p-google-keyword-tool-long-live-seo/)

A private enterprise that has such a stronghold on what is almost as the public domain is a dangerous road in my opinion. I have heard complains from other SEOs, however I would have expected a backlash. In return all we get is passive acceptance. It seems that Facebook cannot move one finger without the whole world having something to say, whereas Google can do pretty much whatever they want, even if it’s a blatant breach of privacy. I’m amazed.

I totally agree with your statement and I am surprised at how very little “complaints” have come from other SEO professionals. At the same all this creates new opportunities. The jury is out and I am sure most of us are going to be glued to Analytics for the next month.
