Yes Virginia, Google IS Broken.

Jun 30, 2006 Search and SEO

Joeychgo, who is also a member of Digital Point Forums, wrote a pretty nice summary of why he thinks google is broken. He talks about why he thinks something went badly wrong with the Big Daddy update and that google is hustling to recover index data from backups upto a year old. He also states observations about forums and sites that have gone supplemental, and that all their outgoing links were pretty much devalued once they did go supplemental. All that is left are links built by spammers and heavily indexed and aged sites.

This is a thought provoking article and I highly recommend the read. Also, if you are a member of Digg, please Digg it! (And I know that Digg isn’t the only news site in the world, believe it or not, so I seeded the article at Newsvine , reddit, and Netscape for users of those systems. If you use those systems, please vote!).
