Rationalizing the Blame: Is it my SEO programs or is it Google?
I confess. Before learning about SEO applications and website marketing industry, I was of the opinion that Google was incredible. I Googled anything from celebrities, to pictures, to current events to odd things and naively trusted the findings. Then I found out about SEO software and a separate field focused on site optimization, and my search habits changed. But even before that, after doing a bit of reflective analysis, I got a feeling that search engines, Google included, know far from everything, and share with the users even less than what they know.
My Google escapades soon persuaded me that Flikr is a higher quality image search source, that with the help of social bookmarking tools I can access interesting current events coverage without the need to rummage through Google search retrieval (rummaging is more fitting than Google search), and people search is better handled by Facebook. It seems that every time I look for weird objects on Google, the results are almost always messy, to put it kindly. Try Googling for SEO programs and other SEO relevant themes on Google and you are almost prepared to lose your self-control. I mean, come on, what’s the connection between SEO tools and employment sites or Web casinos? Fortunately, in my distress.
So when news of seo management software and the entire field built around it came into my humble worldview, my qualms about webpages appearing on page one of Google increased virally. Do they deserve to be there and whose fault is it, Google or webmasters using SEO software. The moral dilemma is vast. Do I stop using my SEO rank checker or do I stop using Google instead? I decided that I can’t quit Google just yet. At least not until the decent 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 applications.
Frankly, SEO programs is the reason why people like myself get some visibility on the Internet. Sophisticated as they are, Google web indexers are unlikely to find some little guy and index his website well. In this respect, I am a steadfast admirer of SEO software and organic search. If it was all about the money, the Fortune businesses would demolish me before I knew it. And there are 1000 corporations on the Fortune list! But here is something else that irritates me and other backlinks checker users, I am confident. There are people who buy SEO products and use them to sell beddingon employment sites and such. What we are left with is rubbish that not only pervades the web but is also well indexed by search engines.
What is the public perspective on this? They search for SEO software reviews and will instead find junk SERPs. They get disenchanted. So much for the “Internet equality”. Does this mean that SEO application and service field is bad? Not necessarily.
The unethical users of SEO tools have to stop bastardizing the Web but it’s like asking hackers to stop cracking the code. The bad side about it is that black hat SEOs are overusing the chance to be noticeable on the Net that is given to the little guy like me. For now we just have to be patient with them. We can only hope that Google will put more emphasis on catching the schemers abusing SEO apps, and if Google doesn’t, the new Google will.
