Well it's been a while since I blogged but it's time to get back in the groove.
I recently came across an interesting website through a friend. Let me ask you: do you know how the results of your Google search are determined? Organic Google search results (the results that are NOT paid-for advertisements) are based upon an ever-modified complicated algorithm. If the algorithm is so complicated, some businesses fear there could be certain aspects that block their results from showing. Check out this article that was in the Star Tribune:

The secrecy of Google's algorithm in addition to their sheer size as a company as well as their nearly 80% market share has raised questions of thwarting Antitrust laws.

It's an interesting debate going on and I would like to hear what you guys think. Go to the website FairSearch.org to read more about this topic and write me back!
