Web 2 Top 300 and Chinese Web 2 Top 100

The guys at SEOmoz.org and a lot of contrbutors like the folks at SEW have rated and awarded sites with user empowerment and open-source applications online.

In China, the Internet Society have done the same exercice the same day ! Here is a automatic translation of the chinese Top 100.

It's funny to see a lot of blog and podcast oriented site in the China version. As I read in a few blog out there, the major players have problem to follow up with the very fast pace going out there. You can find in China a few advertising system for your podcast feed, but you can't have any AdSense like ads in your blog !?! Wake up Google !

The Chinese Internet Bubble to Blow ?

Not really sure and I doubt it will be the same as us in summer 2000 in the west, but after a few weeks navigating thoses countries, and specially China, they seem to reproduce the same bad patterns we saw between 98 and 2001 over here. Overloaded site with ads and oversaturate with flashy colors and stupids animated gif files floating around your screen with the new css layers they discover. But the market is there and you can saw more and more professional site if you use the good SE to find it.

But for us, it is a really huge work to write text to avoid censor. If you talk about a spring collection with a red blood color, your can be in trouble with the automatic censorship system.

Google plotting the way to ads

Google is working very in the mobile ads business. And in the patent application too. Its start by (sort by date of the filed demand)
Method and system to provide advertisements based on wireless access points and then 3 months later a Method and apparatus for customizing travel directions and this new one for Visually-oriented driving directions in digital mapping system last summer. Lately, it was that small addition to the robots.txt.

KinderStart Files Complaint against Google

Sometimes Forbes should evaluate the quality of Associated Press article before to "publi-shit".

KinderStart, a Norwalk-based Web site devoted to information about children, says it was dropped from Google's index a year ago without warning...

- First it's not a site, it's a directory. A competitor in a way.
- Second, it's an automatic submission directory without children information from the site owner.
- A year ago ? May be you should make some little verification if that occurs after they implemented some new features in their site...

This time, KinderStart is the one making accusations of free-speech violations - in Google's case, by reducing the traffic sent to Web sites that have been wrongfully punished.

Yes that true. Kinderstart really like free-speech ! Even online casino ads and diets pills are in there since a couple of months in their comments system:

I think Google should totally ban that site if KinderStart can't verify what the people put in there.

Google Reputation System

Seem Google is in the way of another good move to diversify their revenue. The big thing missing at the Google Buy/Purchase seem to be in beta testing.
