Last week I ran a poll asking SEOs if they trust Google.
We have over 500 responses in and I wanted to break it down for you.
Most SEOs do not trust Google, many sometimes trust them but most never fully trust them.
- 14% Trust Google
- 46% Sometimes Trust Google
- 35% Never Trust Google
- 5% Don't Know
I don't think these results would shock anyone.
Forum discussion continued at WebmasterWorld.
Disclaimer: Please see my poll disclaimer post before coming to any conclusions on these results.
This post was pre-written and scheduled to be posted today.

Bary, is your website title SEroundtable or SEOroundtable ? Why so many attention to SEOs ? Who cares, if they trust Google ? They have there space on WW, where they can cry and hate and blame. Why spread this all over ? SEOs are an internet past. Make your website for the modern web-producers. I believe most of them have nothing to do with SEO, at least lately.

"Make your website for the modern web-producers" I am intrigued by the idea. Could we have some more details in this regard?

SE must always measure some factor to determine rankings. So any new method to rank they may invent, there will be SEO people behind optimizing for that. As long as SE exists, SEOs will do too.

very easy to figure this out: the 14% that trust Google is the group that did not get hit by Panda or Penguin (by the way, thanks Google for making me hete these 2 beautiful animals)

according to my adwords account I have had this search term throwing up impressions 10 times " 120w akt solar panel kit with 10a charge controller and wires complete kit for a 12v system eg in a caravan boat or outhouse " resulting in 3 paid for clicks. Now 1 search with such a random choice of words I can accept but 10 and 3 seperate clicks not a chance. They have a system that allows them to charge whatever they want and unless you want to cancel you can do nothing about it. I have a campaign set up so that clicks can only come from a restricted geographic area and searching adwords suggests its working. Inerogating paid searches on analytics shows completely different results and google adwords staff never explain this properly. I reckon 30% of clicks I pay for are like google stealing my money.
