Let’s all sue google.
I get the Australian IT ‘ping’ email and I have to comment on a story in today’s issue. Apparently KinderStart are suing Google for “downgrading its search-result ranking without reason or warning”. Now I’m not very up to date with this whole search engine thing, but I’m pretty confident that you actually have to have content on your site to get ranked.
I mean seriously, correct me if I’m wrong, but having a shitpile of links to other sites that you frame with your own header does not really consititute an information rich site. If anything that looks more like an attempted set of doorway pages to me, and we all know that this is frowned upon. Don’t we?
Obviously the smart people at KinderStart.com don’t understand this. Obviously Google is exacting some form of baseless punishment on the wonderful KinderStart.com site and they should be brought to justice for this heinous crime. The answer is obvious to anyone in the Litigious States of America, sue them!
Just a hint here folks, if you want good search rankings it pays to have good content.
For anyone that is interested, the Australian IT story can be found here.

You can only hope, that one day in the future these people grow a brain. It’ll be a money grabbing exercise. Attempting to take on someone like Google would be as futile as knocking on Microsoft’s door; it doesn’t happen often and most of the time the court doesn’t even hear the knocking.
