Re: Focus On User Group Uses Google Algorithm To Attack Map Pack - http://searchengineland.com/consort...
"So we should ban Google from doing biz dev deals and exploring other ways to go to market? We're saying we should tie a hand behind Google's back because they've been smart about how they've built their business? Didn't some other search engine have a supposedly unfair advantage with a browser bundle default? But ... that browser kinda sucked and so did its search engine so when exposed to alternatives people switched. I can see it now. A landscape where Google wasn't the default in Firefox and for that reason Firefox never really caught on (money being an issue for them) and no Chrome because that's just unfair to have ... you know, what the other guys have going for them. Yes, a world still on IE6 searching fruitlessly on Bing 0.5. Funny, Yelp may not have turned into the bland monster it is if this happened so maybe you're onto something. Don't hate the player, hate the game." - AJ Kohn
