This is classic Google! Here is an article from back in 2006 in position 2. Does anything that was happening on the internet back in 2006 have any relevance to the internet today? For those of you that do not know the answer to that question, the answer is a resounding no! So why is this post ranked in the number 2 spot for this keyword? Because it is relevant content? That idea is about as ludicrous as listening to a fool telling you that the world is flat and if you sail too far you will fall off the edge of it. I mean WTF… Quality content? Relevant content? Does Google really care about this?

Want some more proof? Let’s look at what position 3 holds.

You know what, you just have to read this one to believe it! Here it is, don’t blink or you will miss it. This by the way is what Google consider’s relevant content!

“Are You Making Money From Your Blog?” LexBlog client webinar on April 17 or 19

Yep…this is what Google calls relevant content. A 250 word sales letter for a webinar to sell you crap that does not work. Will someone please explain this insanity called Google. I just don’t get it. I would continue down the list but I think I have made my point. If you want to check the rest of the SERPS be my guest. It does not get any better. The sites that actually have relevant content are nowhere to be found while the sites that are smoke and mirrors are ranked at the top. I for one am just so sick of it. I am just wondering if anyone other than me is ever going to try to expose this fraud. There I said it. Google is a Fraud. Pure and simple. They know it. You need to know it too. What would be really inspiring is if we all started a “grass roots” movement, as it were, to get Google to clean up its act or get out of the search engine business and just stick to advertising and prostitution as they seem to be very adept at those two things but no so good at the search engine thing. Just my two cents. Love Ya Google and Lots of hugs.
