What the heck is “untitrust law”?! Do you mean anti-trust law? How did Google break anti-trust laws when they have not merged with any major competitors and they still have many hot rivals?

Google has a right to use whatever standards it pleases in determining how to place a website in its rankings. Google’s entire business is ranking good websites above bad lol. If you don’t like their rankings, use another search engine.

Are you a fan of Dan Savage? Or are you his employee? I noticed your email address was from the Market Maker Interactive SEM agency, so I am going to assume the latter. As I mentioned in the post above, Dan Savage may be correct that the Google-Yahoo merger will be bad for business but the specific incident Savage is complaining about has no merit. Sourcetool.com is a spam site. It provides no benefit to users and whenever I get a site like that in the search results that I clickthrough to, I get angry. So it is perfectly understandable why Google refuses to show the site in its search results anymore.

Also, I work in the SEM industry and I’m not sure what you and Dan are going for with the comment. If it is to gain PageRank or something silly from that link, you should know it is nofollowed. If you are attempting a low-end form of reputation management, you should really step up your game.

Anyways, thanks for the comment. I would appreciate it if next time you responded directly to my post with a real comment instead of that pseudo-spammy promotional comment that has nothing to do with what I had written.

To see more of Dan Savage’s point of view, you may want to check out this informative YouTube video I have discovered of him. It’s really cool!
