Open DNS Servers

[Kitan Etos]

Has anyone ever used them?

Does anyone currently use them?

What has been or is your experience with them?

I have tried them, but they seem to work no better than the ones automatically allocated to the computer.

I use Google's as well. They have another on 8.8.4.4 IIRC. I don't like that Comcast's servers redirect you on a failed lookup.

I use Google's 8.8.8.8 server mostly. Works like a charm.

It think Google is eventually is gonna rule over the internet and become the next skynet

[Rampant.A.I.]

Eventually?

[Marsellus Wallace]

Eventually?

I think there is an extra "is" before eventually , my bad.

anyway, I don't understand what are you trying to point out by saying "Eventually?" . care to explain ?

Meant it as a joke, Google is huge. It's almost scary how many pages on the internet have imbedded code tracking visits for Google.

yes, indeed . Most of the Ads are Google's , lots of the reliable DNS servers are Google's and all the website admins work on their SEO only for Google search engine. Its like there is not even a serious competition .

Google heavily penalizes SEO.

Your content should be well structured and easy to parse.

Such is compatible with all search engines, thus a Google-only optimization is not needed.

With respect to Ad Exchanges, DMPs and friends, Google is not the only one in the arena. There are quite a few -- Apsalar (DSP), Epsilon and DataLogix immediately come to mind.

Finally, there are plenty of reliable DNS servers to choose from -- Google only owns a few "memorable" IP addresses that makes them seem a lot more prevalent than they really are.

Name servers are EVERYWHERE.
