Title: Google Drive and Patent Infridgement Law Suit
Post by: donding on January 16, 2013, 17:07

Hmmm...Maybe this is why Getty did what they did.

Interesting! Yes it did appear to me too that Getty might be after higher search placements with Google. I really want to see the license terms for the Getty-Google deal - there could be some really interesting information there.

Not all that interesting. The FTC officially dropped its anti-trust suit against Google over a week ago.

Why don't they do it by regular SEO techniques like the rest of us?

Really? that's even more interesting:) However that doesn't mean Google can't and doesn't give preferential placements to some... but it is of course a speculation at this point.

Because everyone uses regular SEO techniques these days. How do you elevate yourself above competition? You can pay Google $$$ to appear at the top of the search, but apart from that - how do you stand out?
