What do Darren Rowse and Google have in common? Anyone that has heard of Darren knows that he runs the ultra-popular problogger.net. Darren’s site gets a ton of traffic and has an RSS readership of over 25,000 according to Feedburner. Anyone that knows much about Google knows that they own Blogger.com.
What does this have to do with anything? Because Blogger.com has a high authority level they can easily rank for the term “blogger” and they also easily rank for the term “pro blogger.” For no apparent reason other than the small amount of traffic that the term pro blogger generates, Google has chosen to use the subdomain “pro” making their domain “pro.blogger.com.” Google takes this traffic and directs it through to the Google search page. Here is the pro.blogger.com page: Why would Google need the domain “pro.blogger.com”? Not to mention what does the term “pro blogger” have to do with the google search page? Google is manipulating its search rankings for the term “pro blogger.” Even after all their talk about search engine manipulation, Google gets caught with their hands in the search manipulation cookie jar. I thought the content needed to be relevant, Google. If you were to search for Pro Blogger on Yahoo.com the first link it gives you is the Google search page pro.blogger.com while problogger.net is number two: If you were to search for Pro Blogger on Yahoo.com the third link it gives you is the Google search page pro.blogger.com while problogger.net is actually number one: While Google has recently been on the hunt for people that manipulate their search engine rankings by buying uplinks, they forgot to look out for their own search manipulation tactics. Should Google send themselves a blacklist warning? What happens if they don’t comply?

Let’s face it, business is what makes the world go around. If I had a place to put all of the business ideas I had for everyone to vote on maybe it would generate some traffic. Oh, look, another business idea. That’s my point, business ideas are a dime a dozen and if you have what you believe is a unique idea, you better believe that someone else has already thought of it.
The good thing here is that just because someone has thought of a great business idea, doesn’t mean that they’re going to implement this idea. If they have already implemented this idea it also doesn’t mean that they’ve done things better than you can. Just look at the search industry as an example. Who’s on top of the search game now? This is what makes the internet unique as anyone from anywhere in the world has the chance to make a favourable impression on the business world with one unique idea. The internet is an open forum for business ideas with people voting on your product every day by how often they visit or use your site. Speaking of visits to a site, I had a few ideas to give this blog a boost in traffic when I started blogging. The good thing is that I have not abandoned all of these ideas. I will still use most of the ideas, but I have decided that they are better suited for a later date and time. Some very nice informational posts will be coming your way very soon. Timing is everything and timing can be a valuable business tool, especially when it comes to marketing and promotion of websites. |
