I am not happy with Google's new page rank algorithms. Not just because Flutterby.com has dropped from a 5 to a 4, but because I'm having more trouble now finding the actual event venue web site (Main Stage West) amongst all the ticket sellers and calendar aggregators, struggling to find the details from the cooking blogs amidst the flawed recipe spammers like Food.com and Cooks.com and the Food Network.

Good. I thought it was just me. For the past few weeks, I've found Google to be next to useless. Every apparently useful link becomes simply some other kind of (pseudo?) search engine.

I'm wondering if they aren't linking to people that feed their ads in bulk as a ranking mechanism. ie: If we pay them XXXX for their ads, they must have a good website and reference for these words.

Woah, just did my search on Bing, got the results I wanted... Might be a tipping point.

And here I thought my google-fu was just "under the weather."
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
