No it is not, Google censors a large part of the web with it's sandbox. The sandbox eliminates black hats and many white hats, white hats simply because of a lot of white hats wont be able to afford 2 years without any substantial amount of visitors.

Google has become anti-seo, Google filters the web more and more with every new update making it's on search results less relevant every time.

Doesn't matter if your black or white hat Google penalizes you in the beginning with the sandbox and may penalize you again for being a "white hat" seo after the sandbox.

I remember the days when you could create a good site, rank quickly and have thousands of visitors to your site.
Spam back then didn't really matter to me, at least I could find what I was looking for and rank well with a content rich site.

If your rich and or have great idea to make a website with then most of the time you will do well in Google.

If your a new webmaster and you dont have that much money and want to be treated fairly then Google is not the way to go these days.

Google penalizes new and old "white hat" webmasters by sandboxing and filtering keyowrds and dropping pages (throwing the baby out with the bathwater).

Google's results have not gotten any better they have gotten worse. You cant censor the web and have better results than you did when didn't censor, you just kill the diversity of the web.
