Whom to Blame: Is it my SEO tools or is it Google?
I admit. Before learning about SEO products and website marketing business, I considered that Google was the best thing ever. I Googled anything from celebrities, to images, to articles to strange things and heedlessly trusted the results. Then I found out about SEO applications and a new business focused on site optimization, and my beliefs changed. But even prior to my revelation, after doing some introspective analysis, I got a feeling that search engines, Google to boot, know far from all, and divulge to the users even less than what they know.
My search escapades soon convinced me that Flikr is a higher quality image search source, that with the help of feeds I can have interesting current events stories without having to rummage through Google search results (rummaging seems more fitting than Google search), and people search is better administered by Facebook. It seems like when I look for obscure objects on Google, the results are often messy, to put it mildly. Try Googling for SEO tools and other SEO relevant topics on Google and you are almost prepared to surrender your self-control. I mean, seriously, what’s the connection between SEO software and online education sites or Internet casinos? Thanfully, in my distress.
So when news of seo management software and the whole field built around it came into my modest worldview, my suspicions about webpages coming up on P1 of Google increased exponentially. Do they deserve to be there and who is to blame, Google or webmasters using SEO programs. The moral dilemma is immense. Do I seize using my SEO google rank checker or do I quit using Google instead? I resolved that I can’t quit Google just yet. At least not until the worthy contender enters the game. For now I will keep juggling between Blekko, Google and the above methods to complement the SERP mess that Google is. And, oh,yes, I will continue playing with my SEO programs.
Frankly, SEO programs is the reason why guys like myself get discovered on the Internet. Sophisticated as they are, Google web crawlers are not likely to find some average person and rank his website highly. In this respect, I remain a firm fan of SEO products and natural search. If it was all about the cash, the corporate giants would destroy me before I knew it. And there are up to one thousand companies on the Fortune list! But here is something else that annoys me and other backlink check users, I am certain. There are guys who purchase SEO tools and use them to sell shoeson employment sites and the like. What we are left with is junk that not only lives on the web but is also highly indexed by search engines.
What is the public reaction to this? They search for SEO application reviews and will instead find irrelevant content. They get disappointed. So much for the “Internet fairness”. Does this indicate that SEO program and service field is harmful? Probably not.
The abusers of SEO applications need to stop bastardizing the Web but it’s like asking hackers to stop cracking the code. The sad thing about it is that black hat SEOs are abusing the prospect to be seen on the Web that is given to the no-name person like me. For now people just have to be patient with them. One can only hope that Google will put more effort into finding the schemers unethically using SEO tools, and if Google doesn’t, the new search engine will.
