I’ve been designing wesbsites for over 10 years. In fact, the links at right lead to some of the very first web pages on the Internet. And I’ve seen the Internet change from a hope driven cowtown to a grimy metropolis filled with slimeballs of every variety.
But wait, this post is supposed to be about how Google sucks. We’re supposed to love Google! Like a cute little puppy dog. After all we don’t search on a key phrase, we google it now, don’t we? But what results are you seeing?
Who died and made Google God? (They do both start with a G.)
Google is actually much like the Bush Administration in one respect: they’re secretive and you can count on the tripe that’s fed to the public being far from the reality of the situation, which we will probably never know thanks to limp-dicked american journalism. Google has something called PageRank.
They make a case that PageRank is proof that Google is fair and balanced in evaluating websites. I agree, I just don’t trust that Google actually uses PageRank as the determining factor to rank their pages on their own search engine! Pablum for the public, I believe. Is this why Google sucks? No, it’s much worse.
Google has something called the Google sandbox. So, when you introduce a new website on the Internet, they maybe index your home page, or who knows what, then wait some undetermined amount of time, and then they decide if you play nice, and if yes, then they index and rank some or all of your site. And if they decide you’re a bad dog, for whatever reasons their pin-headed algorithms choose, then you don’t get to be on Google. That’s why Google really sucks.
I just happen to have a website that’s been in the sandbox for over a year. It has no content-spam, only real content, no mirror sites, no weird SEO schemes, no doorway pages, nothing, absolutely nothing objectionable to anybody with a brain that works. So, yes I’m bitching. Google sucks, Google sucks, Google sucks. Now I feel a little better. And my site is now getting 200 visitors a day, NO thanks to Google.
My solution? Use other search engines. That’s what I’m doing now. Give up your Google addiction and try it. Wow. Different results, and a difference I like. Yahoo, MSN, Dogpile. Dogpile? Yes Dogpile. Anything but Google. Try it and see the Internet you won’t see at Google. Will there be more trash sites? Maybe. But I can tell you that a lot of the Google results are trash too, sometimes even on the first few pages of Google results.
Which leads back to the beginning of the rant– Slimeballs that create all the trash. The Internet is rapidly filling to its bursting point with trash pages, trash mail and slimeballs trying to break in and steal something from you, or pour bottles of Viagra down your throat. POP! See you back on the farm.
I dusted off a quote from Dwight D Eisenhower. You may remember he was President of the United States from 1953-1961. I hear of lot of people, a lot of younger people especially, saying that it doesn’t make a difference if they vote, and basically there’s nothing they can do to bring peace to our violence ridden world. Ike is right, here. I’d go one step further to say, if we wait for our government to bring peace, it simply will not happen. There is no historical precedent to suggest it will. Governments of all types are in the business of going to war. Here’s Ike:
“I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower
Here’s a couple links for you, if you, that’s you personally, are interested in bringing peace to the world: cnvc.org and NVC in Arizona
What is a Brrreeeport exactly? Here is the ACTUAL definition from Mark’s World Dictionary of Neologisms, Third Edition, and you can quote me on this:
A Brrreeeport is a news report given on live broadcast television by an investigative journalist on location at a major seaport in sub-zero weather.
Brrreeeport is a made-up word that is all the rage in the world of ones and zeros. It is the concoction of Microsoft’s paid blogger Robert Scoble, or so I’ve read. I don’t believe much of what I read these days.
So what is a Brrreeeport exactly? I’ve been searching and will post an answer soon.
I ran across this site whilst doing some web marketing for a client. I do not believe this. This has to be a joke. Honestly. It is called “Mail Order Husbands” and I am rolling on the floor laughing. That means ROFL to those who don’t speak english anymore.
Here’s a few excerpts from the MOH profiles:
‘ I prefer a woman that has insurance and a car would be great as I need to make the occassional trip to Mexico to pick up “souvenirs” ‘
‘ Ever drank paint thinner? Don’t! trust me its a bad idea. I’m a fun lovin’ guy who knows a few magic tricks. ‘
‘ Seeking.. a lady. I like the more natural look, somewhat earthy, but one that cleans up real well. ‘
‘ I am attracted to a girl with a job and a car. preferably a Camarro. I like to meet big american girl. ‘
‘ It aint official or nuthin but the ladies used to call me Dr Love. After a string of bad luck, I’m looking a get me a good woman who’s got some dough. ‘
I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. Please have a look. By the way if you are looking for some real singles, want to have some good clean fun, and can say y’all, check out the singles vacation week at the Triangle C Dude Ranch. Seriously, the ranch is near Jackson Hole, the folks running the ranch are the best, and I do mean the BEST. I’ve been there and this is one helluva shindig!
