Heck, I’m still trying to get over Google delivering mindless tweets in the SERPS. Now this.

I get that ad for other keywords too. I get it for buttermilk pancakes, which is the phrase NY Times tested in their Knol article.

@CMS Right – if it ends up being kind of wikipedia-esque, I think we can all expect to see it ranking well for big keywords much in the same way that wikipedia ranks well for so many big keywords themselves. Still waiting for all of this to shake out.

I think higher PR blogs always rank their new content well on google. What we have to really look for is if Knol content for big search words will be high ranking or not.

It appears Google has decided it no longer needs content creators. There is now enough creative commons content out there, combined with the huge flow of words from corporate pr departments, that Google can just sit on the mountain of existing data and serve it up with whatever ads it chooses.

As an ethical content provider I am highly insulted by what Google is doing. I’m shutting down about half of my Adwords accounts over the next month. And I am changing the Adsense Ads on our content sites to affiliate and other advertising links.

My friends, it seems we have created a monster so big it cannot help but become evil. It’s time to go small again, find the smaller players who want our fresh and real content. It’s time to leave the behemoth of Google behind. After all, it was the geeks and media that made Google, we can make the next Google too.
