google finally fracked up

#1

I love Google but today I saw google gadgets on their search page and I
could not get rid of the bloated thing - click on it in any fashion led
to a page to download.

No fracking clue on how to disable it.

frack, frack, frack

Or use other search engines, such as the one which starts with an 'Scr'
(rather not say, someone must be eavesdropping).

If it's the site I am thinking of, and if you are referring to google
about eavesdropping, then it's too late as it has PR.

Don't worry. It'll be dropped next time Big Daddy runs out of space. *wink*

Just wrote about it (minutes ago), including links to article which I believe
explain it all.. in case you are interested...

Maybe Google should just buy MSN's search engine. It will earn them some
storage space and eliminate the competition that IE7's search bar will
otherwise bring.

Best wishes,

Roy

I am not convinced about some of the theories going around.

301 / 302 - don't use them
duplicate content - nope.
broken links - nope
affiliate - nope
IBLs - plenty of.

I have noticed that for the last 4 days or so that DC 64.233.179.99
has come into the fold along with the other three. (see earlier post)
but nothing else with the other DCs.
