Google the monster.

GOOGLE IS A MONOPOLY

We all work hard writing our posts and streamlining our websites in order to satisfy Google, since the beginning we have been taught in our lessons from WA to write posts of at least 1000 words. Once again, the purpose is to get better rank from Google the Monster.

Google controls 90% of the search engines on the Internet, flat out that’s 90% of the market share. Everyone is going to bend over backwards to satisfy Google or the Google search engine, whatever Google wants Google gets. Pardon me if I am wrong but in some way that appears to me to be a monopoly.

Whatever your business, your website must consider first and foremost Google, it does not matter how good your product is, what matters are how good your writers are. This is where I feel excellent products can potentially be harmed by Google’s monopoly, whereas inferior products who can afford high-priced writers can come to the forefront because of Google’s control.

Google has virtually a stranglehold on the Internet, in the old days when large companies like AT&T had what was considered a stranglehold over the marketplace, they were broken up by the government. Today in the Internet this is not possible, yet I see a serious problem existing and feel something should be done before they gain total control.

Wealthy Affiliates prepares us well, we are taught to write posts of at least 1000 words, I thought this was a lot of work, yet the other day I was reading this companies reports on how it prepares its individuals/business’s to compete on the Internet. I will not mention the company, what I want to mention, is what they had to say about how many words they suggest should be written on a post, their suggestion by studies was 2500 words. The studies were on what Google preferred, this is when they ran their test against the latest Google search engines, WOW, knocked my socks off when I read that, I thought the WA 1000 words was a lot.

My problem is who is Google to say that it takes so many words to describe anything, just how much detail is required is dependent upon what is being marketed. Certainly selling a mix-master as compared to a fountain pen does not compare in how many words each will take. I just don’t believe that you can set everything to a certain form, everything doesn’t fit in the same box, everything has a different description, and the amount of words for each will different broadly. Google is trying too hard to be an AI instead of a search engine, its priorities should be back to the beginning, back to where it started, back to a good searching and not some super intelligence.

I would prefer that Google strip the AI crap out and let us sunflowers bloom on our own, after all, let us build our websites as we are taught at WA and let the people decide if they want to read our posts or not. Leave it up to us as we are taught here at WA, to use keywords as properly as possible to influence our potential customers, and leave it up to our customers to make the decision if we are worthwhile or not, not some AI that is trying to control the Internet and us in turn.
