While there are many blogs belly aching about the recent Panda/Farmer/Scraper algo update, an interesting issue is being raised: Is Google Too big to fail?

Quote:

Whatever Google does impacts the entire commercial Internet structure. We have experienced the downside of this situation very recently with the Big Banks almost collapsing and causing a global meltdown of the world?s financial system. The argument there was that the big banks were considered ?too big to fail?, which is how they managed to capture so much taxpayer money to bail them out. I?m not suggesting Google will ever go cap in hand to Congress for a bail out, but there is a serious systemic issue when one company wields so much power over the market.

You?re going to see something of what I mean when the Google algorithm changes are rolled out worldwide. Despite all of the upheaval caused in recent days, the changes only impact the United States at the moment.

The fundamental takeaway from the algorithm changes and their impact on traffic patterns and rankings is simple ? we need more search engine competition for Google so that systemic shocks to eCommerce are minimized. Google cannot be allowed to become too big to fail.

It would be hard for them to fail, Start with Building Negative Perceptions.

Nothing is ever too big to fail.

It would be difficult to imagine the internet as we know it without Google that's for sure!

internet was made to be resilient and redundant and decentralized, so no.

What's so important about google? It's not like the world economy would collapse if they would go under for some reason...
they have a lot of influence over the internet, but lets be real here, in grand scheme of things they hardly matter at this point...

The government should take them over.

icymelon · 04-10-2011, 11:55 AM

I'm not sure I like the premise of that concept. Too big to fail is when you employ tons of americans or control too large a piece of the economy with your banks financial transactions. Would the internet crumble if google went down? doubtful

It was doing fine before them if you don't count doing a search for baby cribs and retrieving all porn results from ALtavista

I would welcome an internet without the borg ..I mean Google.

Black All Through · 04-10-2011, 03:23 PM

Microsoft can't take a chip out of them, not even after they got together with Yahoo.
With 65% of its income spent on its staff and re-invested in development... that is a big wall to knock down.

Google is not to big to fail neither to not fail (but this has less chances) and it's already owned by US gov.
Websites are too much dependent on Google traffic and that's the problem.

What's the alternative? Facebook? I've posted a thread before regarding Fb traffic quality. The content consumption and stickiness is there but the quality might not be as good as SE traffic

There are incredibly powerful people who hate Google

Starting with Rupert Murdoch

gideongallery · 04-10-2011, 06:49 PM

the fundamental flaw in the article is that it compares an entire industry to a single company to justify the too big to fail arguement

the problem is that when an entire industry fails (banking) there is no alternative to go to.

the difference is if googles search results suddenly don't give you the best results (what your looking for) people will try another search engine.

there is no negative cascade effect between search engines.

Answer=NO

If Google closed its doors tomorrow there are major competitors ready to step in and take Google's place.
Answer = YES

Google's demise would cause major economic upheaval. Many businesses, ours included, are dependent on AdWords and organic search. Others to a lesser extent, AdSense.

However, in a short period of time this could always be migrated to Goggle's successors in the event of a failure.
Google is not a financial institution that would require governments to step in. If Google failed tomorrow there would just be a scramble ( a simple commercial event ) to migrate to the other major players in the Search Engine Industry and Internet advertising products.
