Q: Google’s Matt Cutts often tries to equate search results manipulators with criminals. And yet the same search engine results will sell exposure to virtually anyone willing to afford it. From a linguistic along with framing standpoint, what gives Google such dominance within the SEO conversation?
A: We’ve recently dubbed Matt Cutts as Google’s “FUD Czar” because of this very reason, not that we expect it'll stop him from pursuing that will course in future. Next thing organic meat find him equating black do not lik SEOs with kiddie porn peddlers, Columbian medication cartels and white slavery racketeers…
We find this a reasonably worrying though certainly not a critical development. It’s an established scare techniques we’ve seen deployed ever and again in history: lump your detractors with any which foes most people are concerned about to make all of that muck rub off. It’s the way witch hunts and, in the particular political field, totalitarian propaganda, in particular the fascist kind, has been conducted.
We know we may get a lot of flak for this, but just how we view things Google as a corporation has subscribed to an essentially totalitarian mindset. It’s quite clear for any person to see: in their general public statements, in the way they have a tendency to react to criticism, and certainly, even more importantly, in the vast array associated with technologies and data conduits they’re rolling out to dominate at all times.
his being the Information Age group, information is equated with power – this is the pervasive meme that’s dominated Western culture since then if not millennia. And this really is precisely what Google is seeking to monopolize – alas, quite effectively.
ut not to worry, we won’t lay out on a rant with a new long-winded academic analysis of Google’s crypto fascist ideology along with praxis here. Suffice it to say that will we’ve studied these matters in some depth for quite a while now. This isn’t about many whacko conspiracy theory; it’s about cold, hard nosed and sober examination and evaluation of verifiable truth.
