Google - the sole judge of quality on the internet

Google is big on quality these days. In fact, that’s all they talk about. At long last, Google mouthpiece Matt Cutts has released the fact that Google has made serious changes to their PageRank system, which are severely impacting the number of indexed pages people have in Google. Google has instituted some sort of system which now determines which backlinks are “quality’ and which ones aren’t. To me this represents a dangerous mis-step in Google’s policies.
Google should have some sort of impartiality in order to appear fair to the public. It seems with these latest updates to their ranking algo, they get to decide solely what’s considered quality and if a site is not ‘worthy’, it won’t even be included in the results! Google has lost all sense of comprehensiveness, and just conceded the search engine wars to other parties if this is actually their attitude.
Well for most, making “quality pages” ought to be enough. Since there’s no other guidance from Google except for specific propraganda, I plan on taking an impartial viewpoint until all of the changes play themselves out.

I agree on this one. I think Google is crossing the line here. I can’t see how they have the right to determine which sites are useful and which aren’t. That’s nonsense. Even the backlinks, I can’t see how Google has the right to say which ones are going to be counted towards your rankings or popularity. I understand that it is getting more difficult for search engines to filter out spam sites, but in my opinion this kind of tactics will hurt small businesses. Actually, it smells like monopoly for competitve keyword phrases by bigger companies.

Well “Affiliate Marketing”, Google is only doing what they want because webmasters have been so complacent.
I think more and more people are starting to wake up, but bottom line is, Google will still be in the lead for awhile.
