The Google Monopoly
Does it bother anyone else that Google has such a strong choke hold on the Internet? Don’t get me wrong, at the same time I think Google is amazingly progressive, but I earn my living through e-commerce. My mortgage payment depends on a mathematical algorithm. It’s a little scary. Sure, I know the ins and outs of SEO, I even offer it is as a product, but there are NO guarantees.
I love my job. I wake up, start the tea pot, walk down to my office, and boom, I am at work – no commute, no fluorescent lights, no annoying co-workers or grind to fight. Is it a dream? Maybe, I seem to have found a loophole in the system, for now. The catch? Faith alone keeps me plugging away on a daily basis. I am NOT a laborer, I don’t produce something you can hold or touch.
Like most big companies Google is unreachable, godlike. Do I practice prayer in order to get a high organic ranking? :} AMEN! There is no public contact information of any kind to communicate with them directly. Yet like a mouse through a maze I run Google Webmaster Tools whenever I launch a new site. When I went to start a PPC (pay per click) Campaign I use Google AdWords, when I went to order pizza I use Google Search, etc.
The fear is Google will taketh away, what Google giveth, but for now, I’ll just fly under the radar. After all, I’ve made it this far…RockandRollHosting.com – “Be Heard | Established 2001″!
