Has Google Totally Lost It?

January 15th, 2009 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

Hey Gang,

As I logged into Google today to do some comparison shopping for car insurance since my oldest son is about to get his drivers license, I noticed something peculiar about Google’s listings.

If you look to the right of the title lines of each listing, you’ll see an up arrow and an X.

When you hover over the up arrow it says “Promote”.

When you hover over the X is says “Remove”.

I don’t know about you, but this really worries me.

What’s to stop someone from opening a sweat shop in some third world country, give out a ton of proxy IP’s and systematically remove all the competition from the markets they want rankings in?

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    I just took a look and never noticed this before. I search everyday and just bypassed those two icons. I’m with you… concern. What does it all really mean? I’ve been thinking for quite some time that google is losing it’s mind anyway.
