I'm eager to hear your thoughts, feedback, and any suggestions you might have.
I've worked with James on our SEO tool answersocrates.com and when he told me about the Media Monopoly tracker, I knew it would be a viral hit.
Frankly, Google's results are less meritocratic than ever, and James' tool points out just how many of the top results are owned by the top media companies and actually users get less diversity in results and opinion than ever. So I'm a big fan of this.
Best of luck James!
Will this work on non-English search engine results pages too?
How frequently is the ownership database updated? Media ownership can change rapidly especially with acquisitions or rebrands.
Is this compatible with incognito mode?
Fantastic tool. Does the extension work across all Google search categories like News, Images and Videos or is it just for standard web results?
What a fantastic concept. Does the tool distinguish between corporate ownership and affiliate networks or is it solely focused on conglomerates?
