Google... no doubt the buzz at least from what I've read recently. And I would be remiss if I didn't give full disclosure as to why I'm even bothering here. And if no one else reads it ...maybe a Googlebot will because he or she (is the googlebot gender specific?) hasn't accessed our business site in over a month.
To think Google would actually serve up a site that doesn't even carry the product searched in front of a site (like ours) that DOES to me is a disservice. Google, oh yea... more than happy to put us at the top of the list as long as we're paying for it. OH, and by the way Google's click through abuse policy sucks.
Search "Acid Zapper".... ProLine only one of two e-tailers selling the product.... dead last out of I'm not sure ... more than 150 results? Dead last. The list is endless. Why the change G O O G L E ?
Is Google not hurting the very people they claim to be serving so well? Providing RELEVANT content to what users have searched and yet supplies them with mediocre results. Results that end up costing the consumer on many levels. Yahoo, MSN and the such I suppose still hold ProLineSportsNutrition.com in a higher regard since we're not on the back 40 with those search engines. Although, since Google is now responsible for 150% of search maybe that doesn't matter and maybe that's why Google could care less.
Hopped on to the Google Webmaster help to post a question as to why this might be happening. Of course received all kinds of responses similar to the other million or more that have also been ordered to detention by Google. In my post for help or guidance I actually used a few keywords like "Optygen HP" and "First Endurance"..... the self-serving bastards not only indexed the post inside of 30 minutes it actually started in the top 10 search results for those keywords.
Guess we're really just ranting here and open to any opinions on a solution. And, if it is just what it is we can deal with that too. Back to traditional marketing..... grind, grind
Google you don't own us..(yet).
