Will Google Ever Stop Dominating Search?

Google stock is currently taking a hit after reaching an all-time high last month. Any number of factors could be contributors to this, but some think it’s directly related to people’s decreased dependence on finding information with Google.

Can Google keep its edge in search for the long term? Let us know what you think.

Forbes, for example, has a piece out today called “Four Reasons Google’s Stock Is Slowing Down“. The first two reasons listed in this article are directly related to this issue: 1. Losing search market share and 2. Shift to mobile search.”

Google Is Working On Making Your Actual Life Searchable
At least that's what a newly granted patent suggests

Do you like the direction Google is going in? Is it getting too up close and personal, or is it taking the necessary steps to make users’ lives easier? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Should data from the link disavow tool be used to rank sites in Google? Let us know what you think.

First off, to be clear, Google is not currently getting any ranking signals from the tool. In the future, however, that may change. Danny Sullivan shared a Q&A with Matt Cutts in which he did not rule out the possibility. Sullivan asked him if "someone decides to disavow link from good sites a perhaps an attempt to send signals to Google these are bad," is Google mining this data to better understand what bad sites are?
