Just who the hell is "rick" anyway?  "Wrong" meaning, when you FOLLOW
THEIR GUIDELINES TO THE LETTER, and your pages STILL get trashed from
their index!  You can't figure out that simple fact?  You cannot
possibly be so misinformed to think that G has never deleted any pages
or sites from their index that violate NOTHING!  As in, no wrong
doing.  Their guidelines are USELESS, for they don't even follow them
THEMSELVES.  Anyone can list thousands if not millions of sites and
pages that violate every aspect of their "guidelines" that are not
only indexed, but at the TOP of the SERP's, IN PLACE OF totally
whitehat pages and sites that they have DELETED FROM their index!
That's simply reality and anyone that's not aware of that, needs to
wake up and look around more often.

No, they cannot, not everybody.

Yes, flawed algo's.

Sure, because G is more popular.

If a niche is not "popular" enough, G will penalize you for it by not
indexing the page (and the other SE's will not, they WILL index it).
If you're not indexed, you have no "authority" nor "trust".  As I just
stated, there are no other viable sources of "human traffic" other
than search engines simply because that is where 99%+++ people go to
SEARCH for their product (or info).  Directories, classifieds, etc.,
account for negligible human traffic.

Thanks, same to you.
