Im glad to see the clustering is being looked into, there is nothing worse than searching for something and seeing 15 links in a row from the same domain ( like tripadvisor or other large content heavy sites).
- OGinparadise 13y agoGoogle knows about this and supposedly fixed that. But clustering reduces choices, increasing ad clicks and forcing companies to advertise (because they are not receiving that traffic.) (Downvote if you will but I doubt Google's intentions these days and their earnings are through the roof, even as PPC goes down.)
- wyck 13y agoGoogle's value will always be search > PPC. Clustering reduces the diversity of the internet in general and this is a much larger negative for Google imo.
- OGinparadise 13y agoand this is a much larger negative for Google imo. Eventually. Doesn't mean that Google isn't doing it believing they're controlling the negative effects or doing it "just a bit" this time and a bit more that quarter. Diversity on Google is largely gone on transactional search, big brands rule both the ads and organic search. This is responsible, IMO, for Google at almost $900/share but will eventually ruin Google. They got too greedy and people will eventually bypass them and go directly to the brands Google promoted for short term cash.
- instakill 13y agoI agree, with one exception: StackOverflow.
- notatoad 13y agoAt some point we could probably start searching stackexchange directly rather than relying on google to return stackexchange links. Their internal search is really quite good.
