I agree and disagree. From my view it's like they went mole hunting with a bazooka - and kept making better bazookas. The collateral damage is that many good sites were taken out, or downgraded. They got a lot of bad sites, but they got rid of a lot of good ones too. Now google is the modern yellow pages imho. It's more shallow than ever, but it's okay for many, and they can shake down legit sites for adwords to show up. Totally agree with the main article, sadly however it's like what, 90% of people never go past the first page? And many still assume the top ads are vetted results that are better than all the rest. Looking forward to leaving google as the yellow pages and encouraging more niche search engines, web rings, and similar.
