How much more do we need?

A simple example why Google is top today is they concentrate on what they are best at – Search!

A CSR lady that works for me told me yesterday that she has hard times finding anything on Google, that she now starts looking on page 3 and further to find stuff. Ditto for myslef, and I am an experienced surfer and can do advanced things. Google has destroyed non-commercial page 1 results, all you get is Wikipedia and some newssite these days, which is useless for the most part. The rest of the results are commercial.

And, coming up on Google "improved" results - their own affiliate program results on Page 1. Yu-hoo! I mean ... Yahoo!?... Altavista? It almost feels like we are back in the 90th, except Google has the $$$ to control their own destiny.

What Google is good at is finding spam. If MS or anyone else can even come anywhere close to that, they will get the market share, 'cause Google's SERPs ain't that good anymore. Don't know if any semantic soft is going to help MS though.
