And i don’t care.

I guess Google changed their algorithm for deciding page rank today. Lots of people are crying about it - mostly bloggers.

Who here can honestly say they found a blog by doing a Google search? I can honestly say I haven’t.

TechnoSailor? I love your blog - i didn’t find it through Google. Don’t stress your page rank so much.

You promote yourself the right way. You write good content, you participate in social networking. You care about your audience.

One day, Google is going to be knocked off its perch on the top of the search hill. That, or some other way of discovering sites is going to be en vogue. Regardless, the sites with the good content are going to still rise to the top.

I don’t see this change as a bad thing. If Tech Crunch, Engadget and some other mega blogs lose a little ground so some other quality voices out there get heard, so be it. I am sure that *some* blogs got a page rank boost. The only reason you don’t hear about them is because people didn’t know about them before. Their voice was drowned out by the huge personalities and sites with hundreds of thousands of links.

People who read Engadget yesterday are still going to be there today - and tomorrow. But maybe some other web publishers are going to get noticed now.

Edit: Great post about this that sums up my feelings.

Google took my balls and went home..
