Why Google Results Sucks - Volume 2
If you look on the left side of the Google search page you'll see "More search tools".
Click here and you'll see an expanded list of search tools.
At the bottom is a tool called "Verbatim".
Click on 'Verbatim' and nothing seems to happen.
Look to the top of the page just below the search field.
"Verbatim - Learn more"
(At this point they know what you're up to and they don't want to leave any bread crumbs to make it easy to find this tool.)
Here is the link to the page, and here is the text of the page. I'm sure they'll change it soon enough as once you read it you can see the utter arrogance in the tone of the message.
Basically Google is saying...you are a toad. You are a goat. You are a sheep.
YOU MY FRIEND ARE A PAWN IN A BIG SCHEME, AND THE HOUSE OF CARDS IS FALLING IN AROUND THE SCHEME SO THEY ARE NOW DOING WHAT THEY WANT RATHER THAN WHAT YOU ASK.
To quote Dick Cheney: "The wheel has turned, it is time for them to go."

Thank You Google! Sorry consumers... :(
It is sad to say I have mixed emotions that Google's search results suck so bad. On one hand, I have a great type-in category killing domain "earbuds.com", on the other hand, here are the top search destination sites for the Google search today, in order.
Skulldandy Ad
Bose Ad
Amazon Ad
Amazon
Google Merchant Image Ads
Best Buy
cNet
Sennheiser
Apple
Skullcandy
Staples
Koss
Tiger Direct
Bose
I mean give me a fawking break?
Um...cNet reveiws I'll give a nod. Actually one of these results is a "quality experience" for the search user.
The rest of these results suck. If I was on the front page...the results would suck. The results suck because Google wants them to suck.
In Google's own terms...GOOGLE SEARCH IS NO LONGER RELEVANT!
GOOGLE SERP R.I.P. - 2011
Say hello to the year of the type-in domain - 2012!
Frank Schilling must be loving life. As Google abandons search the Billion or so web users are left to type-in keyword domains in hopes of landing on the topic they are looking for.
It is quite obvious Google cannot figure out search. They have had a decade to prepare, and now as the web grows, Google can't figure out how to deliver quality search results to the end user. Almost as great an opportunity squandered as the United States of America.
Thankfully for the U.S.A. we can turn our country around, Google has sadly been corrupted by millionaire mentality. When the part-time massage therapist is a millionaire, the sense of urgency to be customer-centric falls by the wayside.
I just hope the massage lady left before the fall began.

Google promotes FORCED SEX METH, demotes legitimate small business...
Parents should be warned not to allow young children to use GOOGLE unsupervised!
When I quit running google ads my site dropped like a rock. Google's response: "No manual actions were taken to cause a drop in SERP."
What a line of BS. My site was PURE ADSENSE, nothing else. It stayed in the top 15 pages. I dropped adsesnse and added Linkshare and boom I drop to 24-25 then page 74. The Google Plus 50 penalty. Nothing "plus" about it except...it opens your eyes to the Google scam.
Once you stop nursing yourself on Google one realizes Google is bad. Just like anything big. They are bad. They have lost their focus. They engineer from the inside of cubicles. They ARE THE BOX.
Think outside the Box!

Google Overstepping Bounds?
I disagree with labeling images for the convenience of search engines or search users.
Google Webmaster Reconsideration Request
One of my sites is the keyword for the "category" and is also very brandable. The best the domain has ever performed is in the top ten pages on Google. I really have never made much effort to move it up because the bulk of the traffic comes from type-in destination traffic. Nearly 75% of the visitors to this site type the name in and come directly to the site. I'm guessing Facebook and Google are similar.
I recently noticed my website was positioned on page 75 of Google results. I breezed over the guidelines and did the basics and submit a request for consideration.
Before I came across this letter, I have sent a second request only after completely cleaning up all related topics on all of Google's guidelines.
Here is my form letter response from Google:
Reconsideration request for http://DomainBrand.org/: No manual spam actions found November 29, 2011
Dear site owner or webmaster of http://DomainBrand.org/,
We received a request from a site owner to reconsider http://DomainBrand.org/ for compliance with Google's Webmaster Guidelines.
We reviewed your site and found no manual actions by the webspam team that might affect your site's ranking in Google. There's no need to file a reconsideration request for your site, because any ranking issues you may be experiencing are not related to a manual action taken by the webspam team.
Of course, there may be other issues with your site that affect your site's ranking. Google's computers determine the order of our search results using a series of formulas known as algorithms. We make hundreds of changes to our search algorithms each year, and we employ more than 200 different signals when ranking pages. As our algorithms change and as the web (including your site) changes, some fluctuation in ranking can happen as we make updates to present the best results to our users.
If you've experienced a change in ranking which you suspect may be more than a simple algorithm change, there are other things you may want to investigate as possible causes, such as a major change to your site's content, content management system, or server architecture. For example, a site may not rank well if your server stops serving pages to Googlebot, or if you've changed the URLs for a large portion of your site's pages. This article has a list of other potential reasons your site may not be doing well in search.
If you're still unable to resolve your issue, please see our Webmaster Help Forum for support.
Sincerely,
Google Search Quality Team
So after making all the corrections I resubmit a new sitemap.xml and robots.txt. I also suggested to Google that after watching a video by one Mr. Lindley, I feel Google is stepping beyond their reach. I'll elaborate in a moment.
I'll post an update on this site and the rankings in a few days.
