Google algorithm – It would seem to me that this algorithm needs to be reviewed every once-in-awhile.
For instance, the music posting is YouTube sourced.
The position: algorithm to de-prioritize sites with off-topic information publicly available.
The comment: I would think that each and every time an artist allows You Tube to put the music online, perhaps You Tube may get some kind of “compensation” for doing it. Advertisers with their 30 second banners already step in. Maybe these payments trickle down to the artists themselves, even a small sliver. Internet Brands, the owner of bike forums should get in on these payments, even if its small, at least it’s something. Wouldn’t this be a win-win?
