Google has become boring and safe.

A long time ago before Google was the main search engine, life was so fun using multiple search engines to try and find the answer to an internet query. All these search engines then started to disappear as we all hopped on the google bandwagon.

For a while google was fun serving up interesting results, websites that you never had seen before and finding new business enterprises selling interesting products or products that you had never seen before.

Then came the Google panda and penguin updates, what a bore.

Have you ever noticed recently that everytime you search for products that its the same old same ole being presented on the 1st page of results. Go on i dare you go to page 2 on google, well nobody ever does.

No matter what you are searching for it s the same, a product? Amazon then Tesco then bla bla bla, a Holdiday? well TripAdvisor of course the so called experts with millions of followers with grudges to bare because low and behold we dont give perfect service to every customer, we are after all only human.

Then you will see a wiki page in every top ten results, even when searching for maybe a specialist product, there it is the most inaccurate Wiki result with a paragraph of rubbish.

Google it seems is now playing safe with high street brands and large online stores like Amazon or Ebay.

Am i forced to use it well of course not but there is no alternative, Bing at a push yes maybe i will give it a chance but Microsoft hardly known for their own success recently does not gain my confidence.

Please Please Apple make yourself known on the search engine front. you have a captive audience with your own products, bring us competition, after all a search engine monopoly is just not good.

Google please return some of the old value of promoting unheard of small businesses, i hate the big brands dominating life.

There must be a way to do it, after all any old Joe Smoe could serve up results like you are thats not intelligent thats playing safe.

Well that’s my rant over, this of course will never be read by anyone as this page will just dwindle into the black hole of the internet to age over time.

Ps a note to Goolge
Maybe try an algorithm  that actually looks at the speciality of the website, takes into consideration the personal touch of the website owner that a big business does not offer.
EG yes large companies with support not local to us here in blighty who actually are interested in profit only and not customer service which is the bedrock of any small business.

I dare you Google support the small business man!!!!!
