If Google Sucks Then Ask is Asking For It
Pretty much anything sucks from someone’s perspective. Some claim that google sux, though this kind of claim is put into a different perspective once you realize what the complaintant is advocating.Ā In a rather ironically revealing twist, Google itself doesn’t seem to discriminate against Ask. Best of all, Google ranks Google-Sux.com number one for ‘Google Sux.’ At this point feel free to laugh, embrace Google or simply toss your cookies and run to the conspiracy theorists. IĀ would recommend some combination of the above.
I am the webmaster of http://www.google-sux.com I am not owned or sponsored by Ask.com. I chose ask.com as my primary search partner because I find Ask.com to be honest and have integrity when it comes to indexing websites from my own personal experience. Do comparison searches and ONLY look at natural links, NOT PAID links, and see which search engine shows more appropriate sites. Google does krap indexing because they want you to PAY for your indexings.
I am the webmaster for google-sux.com and I am in no way owned or sponsored by Ask.com as the article above tends to imply. I chose Ask.com because of the integrity of their natural links. My personal experience is that their natural search results done with integrity. The results are relevent and you can tell that they still place a high regard on FREE natural links, whereas GOOGLE only has concern of ADWORDS paid links. Google philosophy is the worse the natural search results are, the more likely you will click on a paid link!
That being said (that you think google is mega-biased) your own Google-Sux.com website pops up first if you search for ‘Google sux’ on Google. Not to mention: don’t you get paid for having that Ask.com searchbar on your site? How is that not ’sponsorship’?
Because, I DO NOT GET PAID for adding the ask.com search box to my website. And yes, I do love the fact that google has indexed MY SITE very high. So they do something RIGHT every once in a while. Even Bush stumbles across something right from time to time.
Well, that’s swell that you don’t get paid for it, but it doesn’t change the fact that both google and ask are for-profit companies, not benevolent altruists. You are, like it or not, supporting a company that has a vested interest in making money. your argument that their natural links are better than google’s is a lot of fluff unless you back it up with concrete examples. For my own part, I tested your theory and found that, with the five searches I performed on subjects about which I am knowledgeable, google produced what I would describe as ‘better’ natural results than ask in 4 out of 5 cases. But who am i to say? That’s just my subjective evaluation. Meanwhile, you dedicate a page to trashing google without so much as questioning the operating procedures of Ask. I find that highly suspect.
