Have you ever been slapped by Google or, worse had your entire account canned?

It’s not happened to Thad and I yet but that’s not to say we are immune or anything.

Relevancy is the key.

But like I said, anyone can get slapped. Anyone. Check this out…

Thanks to a WA Buddy for pointing that one out and here’s the source blog.

OK, they are trying every trick in the book at the moment to fool us into thinking things aren’t as bad as they really are. They are going out of their way to avoid the ‘D’ word.

But we ALL know what’s coming right? And at ANC we are doing everything we can to help point you into those recession proof areas. (Oops! Even I daren’t use the the ‘D’ word now. LOL!)

Thought this was an interesting video of Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia founder), discussing the benefits of perhaps a more democratic search engine ranking system vs. the “black box” algorithm method used by Google.

In theory it sounds great to me. However, I question if there would be a broad enough representation of search users who actually take the time to vote and rank results? And if they do, will they end up ranking sites for good reason or will there be too much “static” in the voting process? That leads me to believe some sort of hybrid methodology might be more ideal.
