There are some limitations to users but that’s the need. Also, I think lots of other businesses are on the same way as Google. Every search engine will like to act as Google. What they are actually, a technology, If others have the same they can also take advantages like Google. That may take some time but then It can change whole scenario. I suppose others are just waiting for god opportunity to come up. They are also able but I think they don’t have resources like Google. Who cares, I just think is Google did a intelligent thing and shown a good business way to others. I think Google is doing the same thing which they have to.

You can argue that they have a huge index but does it matter that they may have billions of pages indexed when maybe we only go 4 or 5 or 10 shall we say pages deep in any search before trying another keyword or phrase? Google became the best because they had a system to rank webpages, thats all. Now that they treat sites differently and webmasters are up in arms, it's only a matter of time before Google becomes the AOL of search engines. I think they are smart though and will adjust before it's too late but mark my words once people get over any myth that any one search engine is the end all of all search engines, competitors will be popping up that can overtake them. Maybe its being created in some 18 year old kids garage right now. On the no-follow crap just imagine BMW or Mercedes telling their owners that from this point on anyone driving a Mercedes or BMW must always must always be in a 3 piece suite or they will lower their maintenance contract to supplying the owners with almost nothing. Don't know about you but the arrogance is ridiculous to me and when I'm told I must do this or that by any company, I go the other way. On my own blog I just discovered that wordpress does that no-follow crap on messages. As soon as I find that plugin or tell one of my webmasters to cut that out, it's done. There's a great book called the Myth of Market Share. Any company that starts to tell it's users or customers how to do anything, that is the beginning of the end of that company's dominant market share, unless it is a government enforced monopoly. This has always been the case and always will. Nothing lasts forever my friends and in no time you will all be talking about ( in 3 or 4 years) how to do better in the next search engine giant's listings. On what Matt is thinking, that is brilliant and right on the money I think. Google could always hide pagerank from this point on, as a revolutionary step for them, but I doubt it. When on top those who are there will do anything to stay there, even violate their own ethics and policies so that they stay there.

After you perfect the telepathy thing, maybe you can work on the Jedi Mind Trick and take a more active role on behalf of the SEO community (Puppermaster Style)in regard to Google and their upper management.

That is a testament to Google's forsight though. While Yahoo and MSN were focused on squeezing every nickel out of advertisers, Google smartly catered to users knowing advertisers would have to follow. It was brilliant really! @ Dave Hopkins - I do read many many blogs. Thanks for stumbling, commenting, and tracking me down. @ Richsage - yeah, they’re way behind.

Actually, I'm kinda sympathetic to Google. If they're as transparent as we all want, then they'll have to issue more real panalties, and those negatively impact the quality of their results. They're walking a very fine line! @ Phil - ABSOLUTELY! Live and Yahoo are still missing the point, but we need them to get it. Google was successful because they focused on users first knowing advertisers would necessarily follow. I'm still not convinced that Yahoo and Live understand that. @ Nick - thanks for the comment Nick! Actually, I’m kinda sympathetic to Google.
