What would you guys do if Google desided to close shop?

Probably shut down my PC and go outside for a stroll.

Yell, kick and scream.

Then I'd dust myself off and keep marketing.

Google is such a great friend of mine that I'll probably cry, but I'll soon start focusing on Yahoo!, Live and Ask

lol, very interesting guys.

I would probably be angry and a bit sad for a moment, but then I will get myself together and focus on other leading search engines etc.

As my mom always said "Don't put all your eggs into one basket" or is it don't put all your chickens at KFC. lol

On another note, how interesting won't it be if that should happen...

A couple of years ago Google switched its main web server from Apache to an edited version thereof and renaming it something else (with a Google prefix or something), that alone had a big impact on the percentage Apache holds as a web server software.

Think of blogger, google earth, frappr, youtube and all those services disappearing along with it... Opens up a whole lot of possibilities for other webmasters to create similar services and take the lead early on!

There will definitely be panic in the stock market. Think of the billions that would be gone.

For me, I wouldn't fret too much. There are always other search engines and ad opportunities.

Not waste time----Immediately go out and find another job paying me $2 per day

I don't use Google to make money, so I would start using AtomicSeek for my searches instead. But they have an affiliate program too!

and I said "Panic."
