Mark Cuban's Plan To Kill Google

rsmiller510 writes "Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has a plan to kill Google by paying the top 1,000 sites a cool million each to leave the Google index and move to Microsoft. But could such a plan ever work, and would it be worth the risk to abandon Google?"

    Seriously, the USERS decide which search engine is best, not the website owners.

    Users have decided that google is the best search engine because the sites they want to go to are at the top of the search results. Paying the sites at the top of the search results to delist from google would make it so that google is no longer the best search engine in the eye of the users

    I think that this idea is much too late to work but it is an interesting idea.

    Google would laugh it's own ass of! "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You lost one billion US dollars... Well... about these robots... You see... we do not realy obey them for websites that are known anyway, they are there for privacy of individuals. And uhm... You just lost... one billion US dollars WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!"

    But go ahead. I am sure that websites like /. would remove themselves... NOT! And he would pay Google to bring up Ubuntu and Wine instead of MS... So who's fscking who? :D
