When you go to many webmaster forums. it is obvious that many people can’t see past the Google page rank. They seem obsessed with scoring higher even at the expense of the visitors of their site. For this Google often chastises those webmasters, you see many posts of that sort in Matt Cutts blog.

It’s interesting that Google likewise can’t see past it’s own ranking system. They feel that everything you do must have something to do with Page Rank. A good example are reviews. It’s not difficult to see the difference between blogs that offer an objective review and others that are just doing it to pass PR. Google seems to forget that the whole reason for having a blog is to share your opinion, that opinion can include other sites.

Newspapers, magazines and a host of other formats all have both paid views and paid advertisements. Google appears to feel that, on the internet, they are the only ones that can get paid to advertise. And if you are horning in on their market, like a schoolyard bully, they plan on making life rough for you.

No problem. Glad it didn’t come across as nosy or nitpicky.

Hmm, good idea. I wanted to install a poll plugin anyway. Would be a nice first run.

Thanks for the hint. I’ll try to come up with some alternatives now.
