Google are too powerful and power corrupts. My personal feeling is that many people are now looking to Social Marketing so that the dependence on Google is minimised. However for now we are still very much dependent on Google until a viable alternative appears! cheers Tony Hi,

It just seems that search engines owning SEO firms is THE oddest couple ever! But I guess it must be super easy for Performics and Avenue A|Razorfish to close deals!

To rank websites solely based on links is not fair. But the bot cannot see the quality of content, so links will always play a role. Google can do whatever it wants. After all it is a private company and if they choose to deindex blogs, so be it. What I am saying is that SEO should not focus solely on Google. SEO should focus on gaining authority for a site: targeted traffic that increases the trust rank in all the search engines. Hi Johan,

Do you think that Google's deindexing blogs are the same reasons they change their search engine algorithms? Does this mean that SEO is fruitless?

Google has done an excellent job of starting with the theme of "do no evil." As they get bigger, richer and many of the early people leave the company - they have the data to understand how to REALLY make money on the internet. And they're now starting to use it.
