Compared to other search offerings, Google may “deserve” 70% market share. But you and I do not deserve to be collateral damage to a company with that kind of power. Currently, if your “clean” website is accidentally penalized by Google’s war on spam, you are just plain out of luck. With all due respect for Google, competitive balance is needed.

I love Google, I use Google, but they don’t like my site.

Actually the ad guys at Google love me, they think my site is relevant for its keywords. But the search team at Google must fight spam, I realize that and I think they are doing a good job, however, I personally know (as they must) that some sites get hit that should not.

Google can still be an amazing wild success with 40% share. The net needs more search options, and that requires competent people willing to step-up.

Happy New Year! Mr. Jimmy Wales.
