The reality is that even with the 16% drop in price I don't have thousands of extra dollars around to buy Google stock, $629 at closing yesterday down from $747, and while the experts may be right that now is the time to buy Google at the lower price...after what they've done to the blogosphere by dropping page ranks of blogs that were doing exactly what Google tries to promote with AdSense, making money from your blog, but just not through Google is too putative and it is creating a feeling toward's Google's monopoly when it comes to controlling the page rank atmosphere of the internet is making many people be anti-google. Their high handed behavior doesn't just affect the over 100,000 bloggers that use page ranks, it affects all of the advertisers who have made us of paid blogging and text links in advertising as well.
While one of the popular pay to blog companies is planning this new social networking format "SocialSpark" that is supposed to eliminate page ranking and instead base it on hits and other data is being looked at as a savior by some, there's a reality to that as well, if it is similar to the "myblog" community the advertiser will get little ROI since there is a huge amount of intervisting between some of the pay for blog community. Blog A may get huge traffic numbers but if the majority of visitors all work for the same blogging company, that advertiser really has not reached the real market place that Blog B who has a steady number of readers that are not also blogging for the same advertiser dollars would receive.
