Is the Google Patent All PR Hype?

Apr 4, 2005 - 8:41 am 1 by

Last week we discussed a new patent released by Google that contained a possible answer for the Google Sandbox. Since then the forums were buzzing on the topic, including Search Engine Watch, WebmasterWorld, Cre8asite Forums, SEO Chat, HighRankings and DigitalPoint.

If you haven't had time to read the patent or you are just overwhelmed by it, seoMoz.org has an excellent and detailed explanation of the complete patent, it is a must read.

What is interesting, is that some are discussing the possibility that this patent is all simply PR hype.
