Search Industry Blog - When Will We Start Finding? 



A Post on the Search Industry Blog

Pre-Christmas Cleanup at Google - Thanks to AOL

For those of who you hate AOL, you can enjoy Christmas a little more this year. Why? Because AOL has not yet penetrated Google's defenses.

Sure, the two companies recently announced a major deal. And yes, that deal does include something about Google helping to promote AOL. But does that mean Google will give AOL preferential treatment in their generic search results? No!

How do I know this? The Google Blog tells me so.

In their creative response to anonymous misconceptions Google explains that their goal is to catalog all of the worlds information and serve that information with integrity to their users.

For all of you who need help reading text that isn’t there, Google left out the fact that sense they decided to partner with AOL they most likely think that is at least a little AOL useful. Google also failed to mention the order in which they will catalog all of the world’s information.

I wonder if Google will decide to catalog AOL’s content faster and rank it higher because they believe it to be valuable? After all, they wouldn't be contradicting anything they said on their blog.

For more anti-Google thoughts, go visit a website written by my role model: www.google-watch.org. For more anti-AOL thoughts..... you don’t really need my help finding them do you?
