Google looking to join the legions of SEO companies

It's been reported that Google is considering starting their own SEO company. This, if true, would be potentially massive news for the SEO industry.

Serena Shapero over at Newswire has stated that Google intend to get their SEO business off the ground by early May. Allegedly, Google's SEO team would consist of about 100 employees, clients could be charged up to $25,000 a month and Google will have a team of SEO robots* to deal with poor rankings.

Allegedly, Google will promise only ethical practices but how many giant corporations play nice? If Google does jump into the SEO pool they will have a monopoly of the SEO industry and it will be nowhere near as fun as the game.

Small SEO businesses will surely be put out of business and probably some medium sized ones too. Will the SEO companies just take their business to Yahoo and Bing? Unlikely, seeing as how popular Google is with the general public.

You can't handle the truth!

Okay, so enough of the scare mongering, is it likely to happen? SEO has been around for a while; if Google was going to do it surely it would have by now. Also, Google offers a lot of information to users so they can produce sites with high quality SEO, surely they wouldn't bother if they had ever considered becoming an .

Some highly regarded colleagues of mine (and one I'm indifferent to) offered their take on the report. "Where's the proof?" was retorted to the Newswire article. I've had a quick look on Google's blog and if they were going to start a business in early May wouldn't there be (at least) a bit of advertising? Another colleague said "this would just be like buying space in Adwords only you pay $25,000 for it instead of a few pounds per click".

So, will Google be starting an SEO company? Don't hold your breath (that's just good advice for most situations).

By the way, if you're interested, the state of Oregon is incorporating Google Apps into the education system.

Online Dating can be a powerful way to meet different kinds of people all over the world. You are able to meet them just by using the internet. You are given a lot of options to choose from. Today there are many free online sites of dating that you can join. But it is very important that you choose carefully.

Some online sites of dating are free trial when you're a new member but it has limited features. It benefits you for making the decision whether you like the site or not. When you decide to go further like for example to be a gold member this time you pay. But you can have all the features you want.

Web design and development: graphics: web: templates

If you are getting on the internet and want to start your own Internet Business, you will need to get a website designed unless you are a great web designer yourself. But most people aren't true web designers with a solid graphics background and experienced in layout and design. Savvy web designers caught onto this and did the work for you and sell you what are called .

Website Templates have all the complex coding done for you. The graphics are all in place and so is the layout and design. All you would need to do is edit the text portion with your unique information, upload it and presto, you have an instant business at your finger tips. The domain name of the site 4 Templates I feel was created with a shortage of planning.

I say this because now they have a lot more than just 4 templates available. In fact they have six templates available right on their front page. And looking through the six categories of templates they have displayed on their website I noticed they sell just about 200 of them. They are all priced individually and I didn't see any packages available here, so it made the domain name a bit confusing.

However, the site is very easy to browse and view each template before you decide to purchase one. They have templates under $20.00 for the budget conscious. They also offer full flash and xhtml templates and premium templates for those who are looking for something a bit fancier. However all the ones I saw at first glance, which were about 50 of them were all under $30.00.

I endorse the concept of website templates personally because it can be very expensive to get a designer to create one for you from scratch. In fact it's not uncommon for a web designer to charge $1,000 to $3,000 for a basic website. And these templates seem to cover a lot of niches so there's no reason you can't start with one of these. If you Google 4 templates you will be able to find the site easily.
