Rationing the Blame: Is it my SEO applications or is it Search Engines?
I confess. Prior to finding out about SEO applications and Web promotion field, I considered that Google was incredible. I Googled everything from human beings, to images, to articles to strange things and unquestionably trusted the findings. Then I heard about SEO products and an emerging industry focused on website marketing, and my convictions changed. But even before that, after doing a bit of introspective analysis, I got a feeling that search engines, Google to boot, know far from all, and pass on to the users a tiny portion of that.
My Google escapades soon convinced me that Flikr is a better image data bank, that with the assistance of feeds I can get nice current events coverage without the need to rummage through Google search findings (rummaging is more fitting than Google search), and people search is better managed by Facebook. It seems like every time I search for odd gadgets on Google, the results are often inaccurate, to put it kindly. Try Googling for SEO apps and other SEO related themes on Google and you are just about ready to surrender your sanity. I mean, seriously, what’s the relationship between SEO software and career websites or Internet casinos? Gladly, in my disappointment.
So when news of free link building software and the entire industry revolving around it came into my modest worldview, my suspicions about sites surfacing out on the top of Google increased exponentially. Do they merit to show up on there and whose fault is it, Google or webmasters using SEO tools. The moral dilemma is vast. Do I quit using my SEO rank checker or do I seize using Google instead? I concluded that I can’t boycott Google just yet. At least not till the worthy competitor enters the game. For now I will keep juggling between Blekko, Google and the above methods to complement the SERP mess that Google is. And, oh,yes, I will keep using my SEO apps.
To be honest, SEO tools is the reason why people like myself get found on the net. intelligent as they are, search engine search algos are unlikely to find some little guy and position his website highly. In this regard, I remain an unyielding fan of SEO tools and organic search. If it was all about the money, the Fortune businesses would squish me before I knew it. And there are 1000 businesses on the Fortune roll! But here is another thing that irritates me and other backlink checker users, I am sure. There are guys who buy SEO programs and use them to sell beddingon casino sites and the like. What we have is junk that not only lives on the web but is also highly positioned by Google.
What is the public perspective on this? They Google SEO product reviews and will instead find disconnected SERPs. They get disillusioned. So much for the “Internet equality”. Does this mean that SEO program and service field is bad? I don’t think so.
The abusers of SEO tools need to stop corrupting the Web but it’s like ordering hackers to stop hacking. The unfortunate side about it is that black hat SEOs are overusing the opportunity to be visible on the Web that is given to the no-name guy like me. For now users just have to live with them. We can only hope that Google will put more emphasis on finding the schemers abusing SEO software, and if Google doesn’t, the competitor search engine will.
