The More Things Change - Google vs. Yellow Pages | Ranked Hard - Funny SEO Comic Strips - SEO Comics & SEO Humor

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 07:36:19 -0700

I got a chuckle out of this cartoon about domain names and the Yellow Pages. I haven't run across many domain names like this, but I can see how they'd rank well.

That's often the debate: unique brand name or keyword rich name. In the short term, I think the keyword rich name could work well, but in the long term, the unique brand name would get the recognition. This of course presumes the unique brand name engages in sufficient marketing to create that recognition.

I suppose if you don't want to put in a huge amount of effort trying to establish your unique brand name (eg Amazon, Monster, etc) then you could stick with the keyword rich URL.

Google seems to think that if it's information, it has a right to catalog it. It would seem that some people don't agree.

When's Google going to be doing a brain scan? Oh, you can opt out...

I think most guys could use fashion advice. Some of us even appreciate it.

That being said, I'm going to wear whatever the hell i want anyway.

Will Obama Break Up Google? (GOOG)

That's a good question. Will Google be broken up, and how would that be done?

I'm not a big fan of Google's monopoly and I'm curious how they might put an end to it without making a complete mess of the whole situation.
