Google Zombies Need To Wake Up
Written by Dean Phillips
Over the last couple of weeks, Ive received more e-mails in response to my article, Googles Trap, DMOZs Nap, And Yahoo!s Crap, than any other article Ive ever written. And thats saying a lot because, Ive written close to forty articles.
Most of the e-mails are very supportive and appreciate of the fact that Im going after Google and the other large search engines, by telling it like it is.
Now even though I appreciate your e-mails and support, I need to make one thing perfectly clear. For the record, I AM NOT GOING AFTER GOOGLE!
Is Google a greedy, self-serving entity? Yes! Yes, they are. But lots of entities are greedy and self-serving. For that matter, so are a lot of people. The fact of the matter is, I happen to like certain things about Google. I think theyre a fine search engine, and they perform a very valuable and much needed service.
No, my articles are not directed at Google per se. My articles are directed at the tens of thousands of Google zombies who blindly follow and applaud Googles every move and whim, like rats following the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
This also includes a good portion of the media, which also seems to be caught up in the bright lights of Google--not unlike a deer frozen by the headlights of an oncoming car.
Zombies, wake up! Google is a search engine--period! Nothing more, nothing less. And I will not exaggerate their existence or importance!
They are not a god or some sort of deity. They are a search engine--thats all.
And even though Ive already said it in several different articles, Im going to say it again. All of that money youre spending on search engine optimization, so that you can play in Googles sandbox is going to be all for naught.
Because other websites that havent done any search engine optimization whatsoever are already starting to rank ahead of you in Googles results pages.
Yet, you keep spending your money, and beating your brains out trying to figure out Googles algorithms. And just when you think youve got it figured out, Google decides to take its ball and go home. Zombies, wake up! Youre playing a game you cant win!
Didnt November 16, 2003 teach you anything? Its never wise to put all of your eggs into one search engine basket. I mean, forget about the Florida Update. What if by some strange chance, Google goes offline for a day--for a week?
Think it cant happen? Think again. Nobody thought last summers crippling east coast blackout could ever happen either, but it did happen, and it turned about to be the biggest blackout in recent U.S. history.
Nothing and no one is infallible. So, zombies, wake up and do yourself a favor. Do the smart thing, and develop other ways to promote your website.
