Well I was getting as the sites that don’t meet Google’s criteria being pushed into an Internet backwater. Having your site delisted from Google and having it relisted is hard enough. What if they don’t like something that you have no control over?

All this said, all indications are that Google is going to keep following their “Don’t be evil” policy with Google DNS.

“maybe the concern is that Google could use the data it gathers about sites to create a hierarchy of which sites are “better” than others or just feeding Google more and more data on how to push ads to us.”

I hope they do exactly that. Because they will either:
- provide better search results for me or:
- provide an ad to service that might actually be of valuable to users.

If those ads didn’t add value to users search experience, then advertisers wouldn’t pay to place them and users wouldn’t click on them.
