Is Google honest about pageranking for not paid websites who are not using Google's Adwords and don't use Google products? Because here in the Netherlands I think Google and pageranking of websites goes by many different parameters and so on. Even when trying SEO some days you are on top of your chosen SEO words in Google, other days you are gone and not even found? I've been testing this lately and I realy don't get it why Google and his bots do something like that to page results on search words? And is Google doing business by it's own rules? And proposals? And as for the G1 phone can we expect the same, or even more controled information data, about people...? Realtime big brother... Maybe you could give me some answers... when you want and have??? With kind regards, S. Schokker Amsterdam. the Netherlands www.schokker.biz/consultancy ( in Dutch ) Hello Dion,

Can I ask you a quick question about Google?

It is very comforting to be able to feel optimistic when criticizing Google, as opposed to that sense of dread often experienced when facing an absolutely monstrous, unstoppable beast of a monopoly; on ecapable of doing whatever it wants anyway. You join Matt Cutts as an appreciated voice from the 'plex. And by the way, Matt's been referring to Ajaxian as an example of successful do-what-you-love content publishing these days.
