Good. Google monopoly is bad for everyone except their shareholders. I'd love the search market to be split into 3-4 entities with similiar market share - not one getting 80-90% of the cake. Google extracts way too much value out of we

It depends how serious you are on the project. If you expect it to be something big and really successful, go with branding name. If it's a small side-project, go with the SEO domain name.

This can be debunked by running this query in google.com: site:finance.google.com sell "quotes & news" The top results is what you would get if it was a neutral algo, used by main google service. The apple redirect is not neutral and is

Note: It's not a result provided by a neutral algorithm. Contrary to what debunkers want to say, it has been hard coded. For example, search for other often occuring words such as those: "over" "before" "using" "between" Those searches give

Google is reaping benefits from the infrastructure built on taxes paid by small companies and yet they fucking dare to say they do more good than them. Fucking hypocrites

by fear91 14y ago
Exactly. Companies get profits proportional to the value of goods they provide to the economy. Saying that somehow $100 earned by Google is more beneficial than the $100 earned by a small dental gabinet is extremely stupid. Both companies s

Programming and business managament are two different fields. You can't compare them. I agree, you can't become a good chemist without proper education, the same goes for particle physics. Business is not a hard science, it's a set of skill

What makes you think that being a MBA equates to having business skills? Being MBA is just being MBA. People who don't get higher education and just start their companies fresh out of high-schools will have WAY more business skills than MBA

If they are not making money in the UK - why won't they disband their UK sales team or stop offering their service to the UK customers? After all they make their money in the Bahamas.

There's difference between paying 19% of your income in UK vs paying 1% of your income somewhere in the Bahamas. Over 90% of companies pay 19% of income tax + over 20% VAT tax. They often times coexist in the markets with the corporations p

It's wrong thinking. Google is ought to pay taxes like everyone else. Without the UK infrastructure, there would be no businesses to advertise through their service. Taxes fund healthcare and security. Without healthcare, people would die a

Well the same is true for the android. Matter of fact, pushing ads in your face is the only reason Google funds android. They don't even want you to pay them. The SOLE reason for it's existence is for you to click their ads.

Well if you show people Bing;s results in Google's search template, they will prefer it over Google's own results. It's not like consumers make rational decisions. They are habituated to use Google. PS: Searchers are not Google's consumers,

The problem is when for majority of people Google = The Internet. If you are not showing high in Google and you don't want to pay, you are fucked. You don't exist for the 85% of population.

Alexa reports rapid increase for Bing and a rapid decline for Google: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bing.com# http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/google.com# I am curious what caused this.

Some results are even worse. There were keywords where you could see only 7 organic results. The rest was AdWords. To make things worse, Google adds more and more "product search" results (paid placement). With each day, there's less and le

What I find frightening is that this company was acquired for $250 mil and I've never remember hearing about it. I really don't see those valuations to be justified.

I've seen heroin addicts say that caffeine withrawal is worse than the one caused by opiates. The headaches are unimaginable. The energy levels are lower than being hung-over. Short-term memory works in a state siimiliar to that when you ha

Not really but a friend of mine was scammed out of $40k legit AdSense earnings. As for the quality of AdWords - I have not forgotten about the 500 million dollar fine Google received for pharmacy ads.

You are clearly in a minority though. I bet that at least 80% of internet marketers hate Google.

The idea is really simple but the results are nothing like normal search engine (it works differently than blekko, DDG, Google, Bing etc. ). People are used to the way Google works. If they(Google) tried to adopt this new way, I am sure man
