Google world, NO rules

[Carlos Chacón]

Google is getting BIG without control

It’s amazing how the Internet marketing focus has been changed during the last years. The internet marketing was something really constant, pleasant and controllable for a website manager (now called it webmaster).

When I just started 5 years ago, my job as the online marketing manager for a transnational company based here on my country, was simple…some strategies going on dealing with the SE -trying to get good rankings on it-, partners, affiliates and some PPC campaigns. Oh yes, the golden years!

Definitely, my life has been changing too fast lately. Google seems to be one of the favorites SE on the area – & worldwide no doubt- and the good times now have turned into a fight without rules.

Every day I try to maintain my site (I mean, my job), and keeping to uphold our website I found a lot SPAM on Google (SEO Black techniques, doorway pages, cloaking, link farms, BLOGS, forums, are just a few elements) listing on the top organic results!

So, what’s happening on Google? There are too much websites, Portals, Spammers? I do like Google search but since last year I’ve found how this world (SE war) is moving to nowhere! Where’s the spammers control? Who’s behind the “Help us maintain the quality of Google results”?

I’m really tired to being treating like a dumb. I’m tired to keep fighting alone this war, in which there’s one loser: the clientele. People who’re searching (I mean, trusting) on this giant worldwide.

This will be mi phrase: “Google world, NO rules”

There's a lot to hate about Google.

Everything is changing all the time and the "golden years" are really gone, excuse me but I think you are suffering a se-changing-rules-shock, a commom disease from today... Google is only an industry and millions of people are getting something from them: experience, culture, emotions, money, skills, etc... the secret (if there's one) is to get what you want with easy feelings, and maybe turn off your monitor for a moment and look around yourself. There's a lot of chances everywhere in the real world... All we have to do is to transpose this oportunities from the real world to the virtual world.
Less competitive markets are easy to deal and there's really good chances in it... That's my opinion. I don't know the future, but today I love Google!
I hate jobs, the freedom is priceless. El no ya lo tiene. No tiene nada que perder.

Exactly, I’m agreeing with that.
I do not hate Google. The thing I really disapproved is the flexible and the MANY ways to manipulate positions on it. I know the market is getting competitive and every day is a fight to be listed on this giant.
But there should be more controls on the “spider” to crawl quality pages. The customers deserve the best when they do a search.
They are really good and offer to many great tools… so, why they do not improve their quality results? :confused:

Carlos,
Your words described exactly how i feel here too. The masive daily changes in this industry is lettin' us go crazy. Everyday, new changes, new rules, some days up, some down. I belive in using only the white hat techniques, to acheive high results on search engines. I respect their message in delivering quality contents to readers/users. As well I respect readers/visitors who'd come to my site/s to find something of use so that they'd come back for more information.

The question is: does search engines respect these white hat, ethical methodologies. If that is what is claimed. Why does most of these changes lead to better results in favor to those who follow spamming or black hat methods. Is it really just a matter of time. Will the competetion between different search engines lead to better results for everyone, (like: msn now has better organic results than before) or is it just a game to keep us going from one SE to another and so on?

just wondering...

Hi seo, Thanks for sharing my comments.
It is really frustrating some times feel like "work for nothing". I’ve been dealing with SE since 4 years now and believe me; it is really strange how they move around sometimes without any control.
I am not a spammer but honestly when see so many around I’ve an evil spirit ideas.

Hope someday they improve their filters and get a nice, clean competition on the SEM & SEO companies worldwide.

Is this to much? Who cares… :cool:
