    Unfortunately, Google has 64% market share.

    Yahoo and Microsoft combined is only 25%

    That means that Google will continue to stick their hand deeper into our pocket until they can figure out how to turn the pocket inside-out.

    It is a bad situation that we have to depend on Google for a majority of our revenue.

    You don’t have to depend on Google for most of your revenue… 🙂

    People just choose to “partner” up with Google, and of course there will be more partnering up with Google since they are the pioneer and leader in search, advertising, etc.

    If you do not like how things are going, nobody is holding you hostage over at Google. Feel free to leave (break free from the whatever relationship you have with Google) and part ways. It’s really not that difficult… Sure it will be hard, but come on — say it how it is 🙂

    Best,
    Mike

    And Microsoft thinks it can catch Google? With what, the quality of their brand?

    Gee, if they only had Vista Search… it would be a real winner NOT.
