Google On Evil Google

Google Evil LogoPedro Dias, a former Google search quality rep, and now an SEO, shared his thoughts about why many of those that preach that Google is evil on his Google+ page.

In short, he is explaining why he feels some former Google fans turn anti-Google. Why would people turn anti-Google? Why would certain SEOs or webmasters turn anti-Google? Simply because Google isn't treating them as favorably as they once did.

This is how some Google ranters sound to me #t

"Once I was a blackhat spammer and I only looked after my own intere$ts.... Then I was caught... A few times. So I decided to start "defending" the poor and oppressed against evil Google."

Currently, only one current Googler +1ed this.

I hear where Pedro is coming from but I know a lot of people who find Google to be evil and never once made or tried to make a dime off of Google.
