For years people have cried "antitrust!" and wondered if the government will ever step in to stop the Google monopoly. Google has been free to create their own "thin affiliate" services while banning others, manipulate their own properties in the search results and ban Adwords accounts for no reason at all.
Well folks, here is your answer. NO. Google is now becoming more and more enmeshed with the government.
It is very clear. Very nice work. But I have a question, can I translate it to spanish... of course keeping the credit to seobook. In any way... thanks!
Perhaps I should stop there and just be appreciative that you have shared with us your deep understanding of this cat and mouse issue. Really, it is instructive. However, I cannot stop myself thinking that, in a way, you went at the defense of Google in doing so. It is clear that it is complicated. How could we have prevented that? What would you have done? OK, the Demand Media case raises suspicions - maybe there are leaks about Google's new algos ... I don't know where is the problem, but how can we prevent that ? I am not naive - I know the governments cannot solve the problem, but suggesting that pointing the finger to Google is the solution seems also naive.
