By now I am sure you have heard the reports that “experts” believe that in ten years Google will have a 90% share of the search market. Let’s get serious here for a minute ….

In looking at some archived information I have going back to 1999, experts at that time were stating that the search engine to beat in the 21st century was HotBot. Yeah, HotBot was awesome, but where are they now? The problem with HotBot was that they pulled their information from the Inktomi database and as the engineers at Inktomi failed to improve the data, HotBot was history with the rest.

Anyone who predicts what is going to happen in search ten years from now is an idiot. Google didn’t exist ten years ago. Don’t waste your time listening to predictions. Enough said.

In a move that Brett Tabke of Webmaster World referred to as “about time” Google AdWords will not be allowing these two topics to be advertised on their network.

Google won’t allow other “less harmless” products in their network so this surprised me as well. This move doesn’t affect us at all as we aren’t in the industry, but a lot of people have written in and said that this one will sting.

When in doubt, there are other PPC networks that will take your money.
