If you’ve been following the Panda saga for a while, you may remember hearing the story about One Way Furniture, a furniture store that was victimized by the Panda update. It got a fair amount of media coverage, including by NPR and the Wall Street Journal. We mentioned them in our first coverage of the DaniWeb story.

Hi Rico.

I had to read this twice. At 1st, I thought maybe they deserved the demotion in rankings, then I realized no one really knows What Google looks at, exactly - how is anyone supposed to succeed? The 2nd time, the message I got loud & clear was that Google just plain has way too much control - way too much power. Even if their motive really is to clean up their own SE, sometimes it seems like they just want to make everyone scramble - every waking hour of every day all our thoughts should be about them: What can we do to please them? What are they doing right now? What's right around the corner that no one knows about that'll gum up the works? And, they end up always dominating the conversation online. They seem to have a stranglehold, and whether they mean it or not, they're terrorizing all the businesses & bloggers who spend so much of their time trying to crack their code. I'll bet there are even people who buy the Android phone mainly because they think it might hurt their rating if they don't (Google will know, of course) - sad.
