Searching for search engines?
Blog entry
It wouldn't be right to open Webster's Dictionary and find the word Bird before Animal. That's what is wrong with most search engines. You can PAY someone to get your site ranked higher than their competitors. Then they come back and PAY someone to get a ranking higher than the original. Those who PAY get a better ranking. Like slipping the greedy door man $100 to let you into the $5 night club. Alexa rankings, Google rankings all can be "played with" or altered based on how well you can build your site to be Search Engine friendly. If a web site sells antique brass it makes no sense for them to become an expert on optimizing their site, or PAY to have an expert optimize or TRICK the search engine into ranking them higher. They should be ranked on their expertise of antique brass. It makes no sense to polish and shine the brass to be other than antique just so a search engine will rank it artificially higher. Google is wrongly skewed to favor those who know SEO rather than those who know their product. When will they rank a site based on the content alone? Then we all can remove the widgets on our sites and return to making the best antique brass available.

Internet Marketing
'All politics is local' also applies to your branding~ your internet marketing is ultimately no better than your end game, your consistency of delivery of the final product~ if there are any discrepencies between your internet presence & your end delivery, then your product will not be trusted in the future....the internet is just 'local' on a grand scale....lots of people forget that!

I think the cess pool itself
I think the cess pool itself is not the internet, but like any other medium it's the content and users that spring up from folks that make rhe world a cess pool in many respects as the real world...the internet just becomes another usefull tool to expoit just like those offline do..except you can do it cheaper.

Google Created the Cess in the Pool
No one seems to mention that the reason there is a cess pool is Google!
On everyone of their searches they rank made for adsense sites from their web farm affiliates programs on top. Each of these Google related sites links to the next in an awful spiral of garbage sites.
If Google was just a search engine there would not be as many spam sites trying to pass google advertising. We just built out a site City Psychics filled with content and no Google advertising. A much better site for everyone.
Once Google started the secret advertising bidding programs the cess started. When money is given to unregulated sites who are rewarded with more money for links the goal is laid out - make as much cess as you can to get your pool filled. Let google split off its advertising web farm and be just a search and things might change. As long as Google profits from the spam sites it will keep them on top.
You have to play by the King's rules

It's the System
It's a cesspool because Eric Schmidt says it a cesspool. If he called it Utopia 3 billion people will think thats true. The problem with the internet is it's a community of followers. The leaders make money, start trends, and everyone else follows. If google wanted to change the system all they have to do is keep their opinions to themselves, let people make up their own minds. What would the internet look like if everyone didn't think content or links is the way to a number one listing on google. You would see more originality.
It is Google itself that

He calls the internet a cesspool but he does not offer insights to quality content providers. I don’t think he is serious about cleaning it up, avoiding questions about how publishers could improve their ranking with Google Search.
cesspool
Of course the internet is a cesspool. You have anybody and everybody with internet access saying whatever they want just by pounding on the keyboard. You have webmasters throwing up websites riddled with BS information in hopes for an adwords click. Not to mention the idiots that employ viruses, scrapes, cloaking, spamming, and the like. By calling the internet a cesspool I would have to agree. Actually I think the Schmidt's description is quite humorous. Google certainly has their hands full filtering through all the garbage in order to present their users with good, credible, reliable, and unique information.
Who gave Google permission to dictate?
Google should not judge ANYTHING!
Who appointed Google as judge???
That is NOT Google's function at all.
If someone wants to find rubbish.com, than Google should search it out and display the results - Period!
Google has NO right or function to say what is good or bad on the net.
It is MERELY a Search Engine and should NOT be anything else!
Maybe we should all ignore Google and NOT use Google anymore?
Then Google would itself become a "cesspool" and also "rubbish"! LOL
cesspool
For all of us to stop using google is like i tell other people we dont need to drive cars or buy gas but try walking everywhere you go. The truth is the web has been a rubish dump for a long time with misleading ads and material that we would not show our kids but that is old fashioned i guess. I feel like what google is talking about is very true, and hey they are nothing but a search engine, just try and spread that rubish around without them and one more thing they are free to use if you wish to do so and as long as the #1 search engine is free i guess they dont have to list any site if they choose not to. I recently listened to a web video feed from another search engine on how we can get by without google but the one thing i remeber is the name google must have been mentioned a dozen times in ten minutes so i guess you are right if you dont mind walking every where you go and using your mail box to access millions of people everyweek you dont need google.
ABUSE OF TECHNOLOGY & SHOWING OFF
You lot REALLY need to STOP the page whizzing down to the bottom. We all know there is a comments option down there. All you are achieving with this flash nonsense is CLIENT IRRITATION. This a shame because your contents is worth a read now and then. Wise up - its worse than those pop-over/under things that drive customers away quickfast and yet PLAGUE the commercial pages. When will THEY ever learn eh?
Search engines drove the content bubble
If we did not have search engines, website owners would not be playing the content creation and linking game in order to be found in them.
The incentive to create content for content’s sake is one of the big reasons why the web is a cesspool.
We had the dotcom bubble. We are currently seeing the wreckage of the credit bubble. In the future, the gurus with 20/20 hindsight will be analysing the web content bubble.
Less is more. In the long run, quality will beat quantity.
My corner of this Cesspool
As a directory owner I see a lot of submissions from many sites. Don't rely on a bot, like some. At least I check each submissions to insure they are usable, and offer a good user experience.
Even though Google thinks directories are irrelevant, some of us do try to keep our little corner of the cesspool clean. And do what we can to help maintain quality and relevant content.
And just like Google charges for keywords, I charge for position in the directory. I need to put food on the table also.
Like any good store owner I like to think the content of my site is quality and work to maintain it.
And ok I don't have venture capital to build brand, but it doesn't mean the quality is less. In some ways its better because I have passion and commitment. I don't live by the algorithm, with me its all personal, I see, I touch, I use, the human experience.
Your Directory
G'day,
You do a good job to, I use it regularly for myself and clients =)
what is a brand?
what is a brand?
Its a way of charging $300 for exactly the same shirt that costs $2 except its got a 'brand' name sewn onto it.
A brand is an internationally well known company and therefore must be trusted above any mom and pop business. Enron is such an example.
The economy is in a revolution and first against the wall will be 'brands' and all its scamsters who support them.

Being right is just part of it. Applying what uou know is right to your own business is also important.

Google is King?
Whatever happened to Microsoft being the evil warlord? Why is everyone beating up one person who works for Google and calling it THE gospel.
Of course the internet is a cesspool. A cesspool of everyone's opinion, just like the corner bar on a Thursday night. Or the cesspool we still call the nightly news. At least with the internet you can get three or three hundred opinions and use YOUR brain to make an informed decision instead of having some talking head tell you what to think.

Great article. Point to be noted about not only quality content but relevancy of the content,

Sucks for your Google Stock
Dear "Mr Google CEO"
We are sorry that you cant get your "manicure" done this week or go to a fancy resort for the weekend due to your stocks "fall from heaven" but trying to take it out on the web or webmasters is wrong and you know it.
You guys purposely screwed up websites PR and rankings so that those "web dollars" would get deverted to "adwords" but as you can see it didnt help any and you only showed your true colors and googles.
You might want to ask if that "golden parachute" is still available as that stock and the lifestyle you where so accustomed to is slipping away really fast...

The Internet is a Cesspool
It is unfortunate and all to true that the internet is indeed a cesspool. The reasons for this simple, it's easy to get online, simple to say or do what ever you want and often do so while being anyonomous. In traditional business cost and competition provide a barrier to entry .
Being dishonest devious or mischevious all require more effort offline. There is also a greater chance of being caught out or called out for misdeeds. However online, anyone from professional crooks to kids playing around can hide themselves in one fashion or another and reek havoc at will and often with impunity.
On the internet opinion can quickly become gospel when mis-truths, misinformation or dis-information are taken at face value by those to lazy or dim witted to actually investigate what they read or see. The truth is rarely as sexy or interesting as something fabricated to entrap the greedy or guilable.
There have always been miscreants and malcontents in society. The internet simply makes it easier and faster for those types to do their dirty work, locally and across the face of the globe.
When reading anything online it's obvious that care and caution are the two most important princpals everyone should observe.
This Cesspool We Call the Internet
Considering google among others are responsible for creating the 'cesspool', isnt that comment a bit like biting the hand that feeds you Mr Schmidt?
Dont many of the lower ranked sites pay millions of $ into googles adwords program to get exposure. surely if google was serious about cleaning up the web they would ditch the adwords program?
