What If Google Had to Design for Google?
Posted in Google | By LGR | On October 16th, 2007
How different would Google’s home page look if they had to create it for Google, or any search engine really. The only thing that needs to be added is the whole nonsense of the rel=”nofollow” tag. You would want to control the flow of PageRank through the site and those external links should all have nofollow or they might be considered paid advertisements. Thinking about the rel=”nofollow” we should start a webmaster movement to place rel=”nofollow” on all links to Google. After all those links might be considered paid links by other search engines, and we can’t really trust the information that Google is going to give out.

Hey what a cool and interesting idea. It’s amazing how one entity like google can dictate how the rest of the internet is designed.
It is an interesting idea. Google seems to have a large lead on the other search engines out there and so they can dictate what can and should be done and as webmasters we often have to follow along or be left behind. I do wonder if Google really deserves all of the top spots they get for some searches, like maps. I like Google Maps but did they earn the top placement or have they hand edited the results to make themselves number one.
