Google Acquires Internet (May 2017)

Posted by Blogger | 10:38 PM | | 0 comments »

I was surfing web and reading some blogs then find this one.

MAY 12, 2017 - BUSINESSWIRE. Mountain View-based search giant Google Inc today announced they’ve acquired the internet for the astounding sum of $2,455.5 billion in cash. The deal had been rumored in various search blogs since the beginning of the year and was now confirmed by the company’s CEO. “This is in line with our vision to make information more accessible to end users,” says Eric Schmidt. “With the acquisition, we can increase the speed of indexing as everything will already be on our servers by the time it’s published.”

In a conference call earlier today, Larry Page explained the strategy behind the acquisition. “We realized it’s not very cost-effective to buy the internet in smaller portions.” During the past two decades, Google had acquired YouTube for $1.65, DoubleClick for $3.1 billion, AOL for $12.5 billion, and last year, Microsoft for the record sum of $120 billion.

Questioned on the first steps the company would take integrating the internet onto their servers, Eric Schmidt announced immediate plans to redirect Yahoo.com to Google’s own search engine. “From an end user perspective, having two search engines is just bad usability, and [causes confusion]. While we appreciate Yahoo’s recent advances in search technology, we felt this move is best aligned with the interests of our advertisers, users and shareholders.” Eric added, “By leveraging third-generation mobile platforms in sustainable verticals, new monetization opportunities can manifest into an improved web experience, greatly benefiting investors and digerati alike – a true paradigm change synergizing the Web 6.0 framework on the enterprise level.”

Accompanying Google’s acquisition revelation, privacy groups today released a paper criticizing the move. However, Larry Page argues that privacy is improved by Google’s acquisition, explaining that “[the] main privacy issues for users today are data leaks to third parties. By eliminating all third parties, we closed this hole.” Eric Schmidt adds that Google intends to replace their current privacy policy with a “privacy scale” which better balances necessary compromises. “When you can improve the privacy of a large group of people by violating the privacy rights of a small number of people, in the end this improves overall privacy.”

The Chinese government in the meantime congratulated Google Inc on their move. Regarding the potentials of expanded censorship, Sergey Brin told members of the press that Google would now drop all search results filtering and instead “address the root problem from a publisher perspective” by directly blocking certain keywords the time they are entered in Google-owned tools such as Blogger, Gmail, Page Creator, Yahoo 360 and MSN Spaces. Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders were not available for comment at this time due to temporary technical problems with their web-based email clients.

I am not sure about the time ( May 2017) but the way Google is going, It will buy internet one day.

IZEA (PayPerPost)is going to make one more ranking solution "IZEA RealRank™".

What they say about it:

The problem with Google PageRank is that it is both self serving and irrelevant to actual traffic and influence. The arbitrary and unpredictable nature of this ranking system has left both bloggers and advertisers longing for accurate statistical data since long before PayPerPost. Unfortunately, there are few options out there when it comes to determining the value of a blog. While sites like Alexa attempt to estimate traffic they are inaccurate and do a terrible job when it comes to blogs with smaller niche audiences.

I we believe we have a solution and that solution is RealRank. RealRank data is gathered from the IZEA Toolkit "ITK" (formerly PPP Tools). It is a piece of javascript that many of you already have and those outside of PPP will be able to get from a separate site without joining PPP or SocialSpark. ITK gathers REAL traffic information, much like your analytics platform and ranks users based on their standing within the network. The formula is relatively simple.

70% weighted towards visitors per day
20% weighted towards amount of ACTIVE inbound links per day
10% weighted towards pageviews per day

We are currently working on implementing RealRank inside of the PPP platform next week. The public site will be up within two weeks. I am excited to be able to finally provide bloggers and advertisers with a measuring stick that actually means something.

Unlike Google, we are open to feedback. We will publish the actual formulas for all to view. If we make any changes over time based on user input you will see what those changes are and why. We hope this becomes the most valuable site measurement tool worldwide and look forward to rolling this out.
Down with PageRank (beats war drum)!

I like what they said in this post. 70% weighted towards visitors per day is good idea to decide rank but if they are really going to decide it by visitors then people get good ranking by getting fake visitors.

20% weighted towards amount of ACTIVE inbound links per day and 10% weighted towards pageviews per day. 20% on inbound link but I still want to know that they will care for nofollow or not. As I know they are creating this new rank because they don't like Google. Only 10% weighted for pageviews means you need unique visitors to get high RealRank.

The best thing I like is they will accept peoples feedback on improving theur system and will publish actual formula that how they decide rank for a site. At Google Rank, no one is sure how they decide ranks for pages.

I am using SponsoredReviews at my another blog so when I open this site I found that they have new feature "Affiliate Program". They were planning for it from long time. They also released some links and grafics for promoting their service for members.


There are many site available like reviewme, payperpost etc. but if your blog don't have good search engine rank, traffic and other things then your blog will be rejected but at SponsoredReviews that have very low requrements. I submitted my new blog without any problem and at ReviewMe my this blog, that you are reading now, rejected. SponsoredReviews pay you less then others but its good for newbies.
