Sharing the Blame: Is it my SEO apps or is it Google?

I admit. Prior to learning about SEO software and site promotion trade, I considered that Google was cool. I Googled everything from people, to pictures, to articles to weird objects and blindly trusted the results. Then I learned about SEO products and a whole e-commerce dedicated to Web promotion, and things were never the same. But even prior to my revelation, after doing some philosophical reading, I got a hunch that search engines, Google included, know far from all, and reveal to the users even less than that.

My Google travails soon convinced me that Flikr is a more comprehensive image data bank, that with the assistance of feeds I can access interesting news stories without having to rummage through Google search retrieval (rummaging is more descriptive than Google search), and human search is better handled by Facebook. It seems like every time I search for odd gadgets on Google, the results are often inaccurate, to put it mildly. Try searching for SEO tools and other SEO relevant themes on Google and you are almost ready to surrender your patience. I mean, come on, what’s the relationship between SEO applications and employment websites or online casinos? Thanfully, in my frustrations.

So when news of seo management software and the entire field built around it entered my humble worldview, my doubts about sites popping up on first page of Google increased manifold. Do they deserve to show up on there and who is to blame, Google or webmasters using SEO tools. The ethical quandary is huge. Do I quit using my SEO google rank checker or do I seize using Google instead? I decided that I can’t turn away from Google just yet. At least not until the worthy rival enters the picture. For now I will keep juggling between Blekko, Google and the above methods to complement the SERP mess that Google is. And, oh,yes, I will keep playing with my SEO apps.

To be honest, SEO products is the reason why guys like myself get some visibility on the web. Sophisticated as they are, search engine robots are unlikely to find some little dude and position his site highly. In this regard, I still am a steadfast advocate of SEO applications and organic search. If it was all about the paid search, the corporate entities would demolish me before I knew it. And there are 1000 companies on the Fortune roll! But here is something else that irritates me and other backlinks checker users, I am confident. There are guys who buy SEO tools and use them to sell dresseson career sites and the like. What we have is rubbish that not only permeates the net but is also highly valued by search engines.

What is the user perspective on this? They Google SEO tool reviews and will instead find unrelated search findings. They get disenchanted. So much for the “Internet justice”. Does this mean that SEO application and service industry is bad? Not necessarily.

The abusers of SEO products need to stop bastardizing the Net but it’s like asking hackers to stop hacking. The sad side about it is that black hat SEOs are abusing the chance to be noticeable on the Net that is given to the no-name guy like myself. For now users just have to live with them. We can only hope that Google will put more emphasis on finding the schemers abusing SEO tools, and if Google doesn’t, the competitor Google will.
