Re: Google shares hit $1,000 after strong earnings
#2I guess the June search-algorithm updates really worked. (Kicking out everyone that earns without giving Google it's piece of the pie).
Google keeps removing small business websites from its results, forcing them to use Ad-Words. This strategy cannot be sustained unless they want 100% commercial / 100% junk results. I wonder what will they do in the future.

#3I think this is interesting because it matches my user experience with Google products in a very inverted way. Google search has gotten worse and worse lately, forcing me on to other search engines with worse UIs just so that I can get useful results. Youtube UI gets worse every time they update it. They cancelled the RSS reader. The email UI keeps getting worse and featuring more ads.
But the stock value hit $1000. I guess they're doing something right, it's just not something that affects me in any positive way.

We notice some changes too since june, you think it's too push people to buy adwords? I feel too that small websites have trouble to rank against bigger ones.

I'm no Google fanboy but what you are saying is a pretty strong accusation. Where is the data to back what you are claiming Google is doing?

You have some examples? I'll be happy to see because as someone who searches I'm pretty happy with the results I'm seeing.

This is no conspiracy. Ignoring that larger sites have better page rank, they can also spend more on SEO.
Ma and Pop's widget shop is a wordpress clunker built by their teen son. He's not spending 20 hours a week watching metrics and messing with SEO. $big_shop_webmaster certainly is.

Anti-competitive lobbies, hugely funded by Google's competitors, have tried to make that stick in the US and EU. They have largely failed to do so both times. Prove it :)

And this is based on what? If people are 'forced' to use AdWords it would be because of the move towards 100% not provided keywords in natural search, thus nudging you to go into AdWords to see the full search report.

#10A nice 10 ball if you got in on their IPO.
