What if Google needs to do SEO?

Here’s a ROFL ‘what-if’ situation: What if Google needs to do SEO?

Before SEO

Google doing SEO
Google - before SEO works

After SEO

Google - after SEO works

Okay, maybe it’s not that funny.

At least not funny for some webmarketers who work 10 hours a day building links. SEO or SEM are always in an unfair arm wrestling game with the search engines.

Whether you’re doing link exchange, or writing link baiting content, or suck up your designs with all the web 2.0 icons, or spend thousands to buy link - eventually small webmasters and SEOs like us will get burnt when the algorithm changed.

Sure, a website with useful application or good content is most likely to be spreaded in viral effects. but in the first place you will need to market it hard (which goes back to buying links and kissing digger’s ass). secondly you need quite an amount of money and effort for the developing the *useful* (and unique!) web application along with a cool web designs. com’on, not everyone’s born and live in Silicon Valley where rich guys are hanging around waiting to sponsor your projects!

If Larry Page and Sergey Bin live in Bombay, I bet their success won’t come this easy. Klenier Perkins and Sequoia Capital wont be funding the project and Google might be still hosted at the back of Sergey’s garage. true?

Alright, back to the funny stuffs, check out this brialliant kuso on the making of this SEO-ed Google homepage.


Google’s biased search results

Google is already ranking Wikipedia on the third spot for an article that DOES NOT exist! Search “IMHO” on your Google search box or click here. Most likely you will be seeing Wikipedia ranking on the third (or sometimes forth) spot.

At first look, that looks fine…
Google SERP on 'IMHO'
Google being biased on Wikipedia (click for larger image)

But wait until you read closer…
Google SERP on 'IMHO'
Damn Google for ranking a blank page instead of mine!

“Wikipedia does not currently have an encyclopedia article for IMHO. You may want to search Wiktionary for “IMHO” instead. To begin an article here, …” What? a blank page on the third spot of a SERP of 26 million? So much for the unbiased search engine algo to serve users the best!

Someone, please edit that stupid Wikipedia page for the sake of Gooooooooogle’s stock price!
