The governing body is currently people with blogs. When Google does something wrong, we notice it often times before Googlers do. When they make changes to their algorithm you often hear the screams from internet marketers.

If Google ended it’s fair SERPS policy it would be game over for something that has so much unrealized potential. I mean, look at Yahoo, how does anyone rank cosistantly in that? Is Yahoo! fair? Not at all, they are greedy and have little value to the future.

This stuff is so major, almost like the development of a constitution if done correctly.

Hard to explain but if Google does not fall into temptation by pressure to make more money they can become the ATM and voting booth of a future world.

“This discussion has more value than people might be aware to the future of a more democratic search.”
I completely agree with you on this.It is a general trend to follow whatever a popular source says but it should not be followed blindly.If services like Google are meant to benefit the community still there should be some governing body over SE’s that can keep things under control in future.
Do you guys think it is a good thing to do?

Quote: Warning: if you overuse “calling out” as a form of Google link baiting to get Matt Cutts to respond you can lose your credibility as Google slowly gains theirs. In other words, if you call Google out and you are correct you gain respect, if you are incorrect you can lose respect

Very true, and im sure google are appreciative of your watching ;)

Good post Aaron. I think the noise on the “Tips” was a little too much for even Google to handle. If Matt had come out in defense of this it would have been really disappointing. It will be interesting to see what changes are made as result.
