Google Does it again!
I don’t know why Google is so hard to understand. I don’t know if they are good but Gail over at Growmap thinks they may be evil. I don’t know if they are but I am quite concerned what happened to my blog over the last weekend! It all started with a dramatic drop in people coming to my site. I had a dramatic drop of people who were coming to my site. This is always how it is, when a blog starts to get popular, Google drops them in popularity.
Google Plus World without me!
I don’t know what happened but after all this has happened, people around the blogosphere are recommending an FTC Probe over this. I know I am not the only one but this was a real drastic drop of people coming to my blog through Google. I have decide that I will switch to Bing and still use Google’s Chrome. This is after all a means to tell Google that I am not happy with there search results.
Google No more!
I encourage everyone else that reads this to change to another default search engine in your Web Browser and show Google that we are unhappy with there choice. The Bloggers are what made themnd we can who they are today a we can make some other search engine better or bigger than them. Until they change their tune and goes back to “DO NO EVIL” then maybe I will encourage people to go back to them. I’ve worked hard for this blog and I support Gail’s Attempt over at Growmap’s site and I encourage others to go visit them and tell them I sent you!
