Webmasters and businesses have very little choice but to use Google because of their traffic. Google is exploiting that power. More competition, means a better deal for everyone (except Google). Go and earn your pennies from adsense. You people don’t get it. Webmasters and businesses have very little choice but to use Google because of their traffic. Google is exploiting that power.

This strongly seems to be with the case with John Pozadzides when he recently discovered that his web site no longer pulled up in the ranks for certain keywords that used to. “Someone over at Google has seriously got it out for me! Why is it that just 30 days ago I reported that I was number 2 for a search for “John P.” and number 12 for the word “John”, but just today I was amusing a friend and noticed that if you search for John I’ve now dropped to number 206!”, said Pozadzides. The lose of ranking for these keywords lead to the publication of a blog post titled, “Google Sucks Again!!!.” [...] [...] Some people even go so far as to feel like Google is personally out to get them, as if they are being singled out and targeted.

Your still #2 for John P. out of 69,100,000 for John P.. not tooooo bad after your post here all readers were looking for it, I guess with that enourmous interest for one person in a short time you went back up again.... smart move, what was it about manipulation :-) hehe Rhoody hmmm, needed to check it (as I don’t have anything elese to do).

This has happened more than once, it can be slightly distressing. :) What I have found each time is that I had some techical difficulty, either I coded a page and didn't consider how user imput might cause a page problem (like not escaping quotes from user input, duh!) or in a recent case, my shared host upgraded something and I had a URL rewrite that failed. The best way for me to find these Google ranking problems has been using Google's Webmaster tools. If Google sees a problem with your site they list it there, if you don't react, then Whamm! they get your attention the hard way. Sorry, I know it's not as fun as a conspiracy theory....but I know that you are on some list that includes Gates, Jobs, P.,... John,
