Now I'm very experience at SEO but have never seen this happen before. I know it’s probably the everflux but to have the entire site indexed in just 7 hours is unbelievable!
The problem is suddenly it makes the main SERPS influnced by cash. coomercial sites will get in quick. informational sites who probably cant pay (gov, edu, amatuer) will be at a disadvantage, and info is what google wants in the main SERPS. Commercial sites over to the right!
Also can you imagine the PR din when google wants to change things and suddenly people's "paid" pages get dropped, even if the fine print says they wont last forever? - Y!/LS all over again.
Nothing can guarantee exposure in the main index, even the folding stuff. There are many alternatives for those who want to pay for listings and exposure.
Yeah, and you don't think it's influenced by cash right now?
Show me a site on Google for big time commercial keywords that was not "worked on". Links, SEO for months and years and anything you can think of in order to manipulate the results. I don't think it's for free. Time and effort cost money and if you are a business man then you radar pay.
Some of the commercial keywords like the financial and others worth $1,000's a day and alot of people do alot of things to be on the first page.
Personally I gave up on Google long time ago, the free listings anyway. Too expensive for me. Every month am I up or down. Not for me I need to run a business and needs a consistent results all the time
Google are saying they will not do it, I am not sure we will wait and see.
