 |  Time Warner to Sell 5% AOL Stake to Google for $1 Billion Article: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/17/te...17aol.html?8br Some interesting quotes from the article: Quote:
Quote:
Google is giving AOL free credits for advertising, which is really just ruining the whole AdWords bidding system. This will simply drive the keyword prices up and make it harder for the "small guys" to compete with bigger companies which can afford the increase. But what really makes me mad is that Google is actually helping AOL to get better search results. I always thought that search engines were supposed to try and provide the most relevant information as possible. By giving an unfair advantage like this, Google is no longer calculating the results based on the relevance and quality of the websites. When using a search engine, would you rather get a list of links to honest websites with good content or links to sites which don't have very good content and the only reason they have high results is because they were given an unfair advantage? Any opinions on this? | ||
