Is Google biased? Should we trust Google anymore?
Google has applied their new algorithm. I am surprised to know that it didn't make any damage to eHow! Rather, the new algo benefited ehow. Matt Cutts in his blog said that google is targeting low quality and shallow content. Most of the content at eHow is shallow and contains around 200-250 words! Is Google biased? What do you think?
ehow seems to have low competition on its niche hence it doesn't affect much. News scrapers seemed to suffer more of the new algorithm as it prefers news entirely original more than scraped ones.

It has taken me a couple of years and a lot of work, but I've finally come to a realization.I don't belong here. At least, my articles don't. Part of this realization comes of frustration and part of it comes from a now precipitously low reader count. Part of this is due to Google's new algorithm...

As a former eHow author this whole 'quality hub' situation looks all too familiar.Anyone have thoughts on this? After all, if I remember correctly, we went through this over there years ago before they shut down the WCP program.

I've found several of my hubs on page two of google (a few on number one ), but of course, I'm not satisfied with that! Am I just being impatient and they will move up with time?
