#2Sometimes, whilst DDG's partnerships can be great for getting quality content to the top of search results; it's definitely not the sort of thing I'd want to see a dominant search engine doing. DDG obviously needs to do things differently in a way that can drive them traffic, but if Google were to do this, they'd quite rightly be blasted because such partnerships could massively impact the ability of other site's to grow organically without the engine's blessing.

Then what is their business?

#5Google has mentioned they're working on the content farm problem. I would expect them to make some moves faster that are smarter than banning content farm X while partnering with content farm Y. Likely algorithmically, coz that's how they roll.

I agree. Google's prominent ranking of Wikipedia articles usually drives me nuts unless it's the only good article around.

I actually have a lot of faith in Google to do the right thing for their users. After all they mostly walked away, or at least severely hampered their business in China. They will be more than willing to walk away from sites their users think are low quality.
I'm not saying that this means they will do the exact same thing DDG did. I'm just saying any decisions they make will be primarily based on looking out for their users best interest rather than short term adsense revenue.

Google's ranking of Wikipedia articles is due in large part to Wikipedia's great PageRank ranking. I don't think Google is giving Wikipedia any sort of singled-out treatment, Wikipedia just ranks highly on Google's relevance metrics.

#10How odd that even a year ago it seemed that the search engine space was closed to new entries, even solved - and now it feels wide open again.
