Forums losing their oomph as well?

Lets say it will work for webmasters. But what do you do with the internet users that once they open the browser they go directly to google ?

Its just a joke finally..

Well that is true. These days a coleague of mine gave a similar example , google changes the rules and we try to find other ways of tricking it. ( hehe Temi should know..

Don't think Google will notice your boycott

Just think though if enough web users ignored Google and all its features, ie adsense,search etc...it could work.
I know it would be impossible to get such numbers together, but wow what an effect it would have.

The effect would be indeed interesting , but its impossible to even start such a boycott. So , its like this : google changes the rules , we change the way we play...

Quite right Midlandi, it will be nice to make Google listen to us. But, come to think of it, if you run Google search, will you not do the same thing they did to us in the interested of their user (who totalled millions as opposed to webmaster who are probably thousands)

One of my sites that was #1-2 for targeted keywords for the last 3 month all of a sudden was dropped to page 6 and getting lower and lower every day... Not banned, not de-listed, just loosing position slow but sure. That sucks because I did play by the "G" rules.

About the question "What's next?" I can tell you right now... Look at all these ads about "articles on the blog networks". What can be more obvious than this new more advanced type of link farms?

Useless generic auto blogs are started on dropped domains, produce duplicate content with the speed of light and nothing else.

This wave will be over soon enough but in the end who will be suffering? The ones who has a real blog with real original content...
