If you browser allows for a any tool bar that shows you Google PR, you may have noticed that there is no green (or whatever other color might be used) in that little bar. I have expected that to happened and am just a little bit surprised by a slight delay between the time my website began to disappear from Google’s index to the time when PR went down to 0. I would suspect these things would happen simultaneously.
So, I guess every one should congratulate me now on my new milestone while saying goodbye to Google. My experiment is turning into a very interesting adventure and the more hours pass by the more I realize that you do not need Google at all today to market your website and that the social media websites along with the RSS technology constitute the biggest threat to Google, as well as to other search engines. They (the search engines) should be working very hard on some sort of kick ass technology in order to survive in the business. I am not a prophet but if you are an investor you should think twice whether or not to hold on to a stock of some companies even if they trade $800 a share. You do not need a crystal ball to see that some companies will be struggle for survival even though they may be soaring high today.
“Build your websites as if there were no search engines”- you’ve probably heard this slogan many times. Now you can hear it from me, now that I am experiencing it in a more realistic way- “Do yourself a favor and build your websites as if there were no search engines!”
Keep going, trend setter.
Keep going, trend setter.
I agree that you can survive without google and make up for it with traffic from the other smaller search engines and social sites. Good luck with your experiment. I look forward to reading about it along the way.

I have to say that I admire you tremendously for taking this step. I'm going to be watching with great interest to see how it works out.
Really keeping everything crossed for you, fella!
