    While those points raised do make sense (Google does act like a MONOPOLY sometimes), it is worth keeping in mind that Google's #1 loyalty is to the USER. Google can do without the people trying to optimize it. They will just index other content in the same categories. However, it can't do without its USERS.

    Are there any alternatives to a boycott? Sure, create content that focuses on the USER. Create content that builds trust and authority. That is the step needed in building an empire on solid rock instead of the shifting sands of SEO and current traffic trends. Build VALUE. Start Today.

    NOw thats a relly long list..I wonder some of those facts mmight be true..another thing is GOOGLE is owned bya jewish company and their main agenda is to look over everything in a person so they r trting to get most of the best stuff out there either by owning them or trying to make a control over it...Such as said on top that they are owning feedburners and doublecilcks...

    but I wonder do doublecliclks has to do with something with adsense though I do not want it..is there a way to stop it.

    Who told you that? Not hardly. They had the chance to buy it a long time ago though. I am surprised they didn't. They buy every other piece of junk they can get their hands on why not buy something that works for once. Of course they might actually own it, who knows. What did you read that said that?

    I think mostly google strives to let the person buying the adwords make money! Not for the person who lets them show on his/her page! Google knows that anyway that a person can find to cheat thier way into money they will!

    Steve, you can win if you support other alternative ways, much cheaper than adwords by the way. Adwords prices lately simply less and less affordable. Google owns (biggest share) only SEARCH traffic. Think about it. In DISPLAY they are nobody and nothing, if you understand what I mean.

    I still love google. It is the only search engine which is only a search engine at its main website , and doesnt take time to load like MSN or Yahoo. Also, it almost always gives the best results.

    Nice try.. But most people know that internet is nothing without google. Google is the largest fish in the sea. Yes they are a bit harsh in some cases but that's the way they works... Most of the services that are available on the internet are associated with google...

    if they acted more responsibly rather than charging £5 for 1 click it wouldnt be a problem.. would it? the reason why large companies eventually fall is because of greed... greed will bring them down.. their cash making machine will fall because life isnt about how many billions you can make its about love and sharing and they cant give a crap about you or I..can they.. google is on the start of the finish right now as we speak... they also do not allow products upload from enterprise affording merchants a way to have a free website and to have their products searched..its all BS..

    Google is becoming a failure.

    I have stopped using adsense on all sites, except adshare on this site, and i dont even earn $0.05 a day from impressions. It is pathetic.

    I say lets start a Google Free day! Just 1 day to see what would happen if everyone stopped using Google for a day. It would be very easy to organize on social media facebooke etc... and will no doubt make the news, what does everyone think?

    There need to be better alternatives before anyone stops using Google. These 2 dont cut it.

    i know i can not win this bettel
    even i am working hard and earning nothing $1 to 3 per month
    i read this thread 6 months ago and then i decided to stop using Google and just start spamming so they will ban me

    now:D
    i am earning good enough 230$ to 270$ per month working (spamming) only one hour a day so i dont care when they catch me and ban me.

    from me i am just fighting in my own way they should watch me and ban me if not i dont care i am getting paid 230 to 270 USD per month

    Well I mixed up my search with google, facebook and digg. So I am not fully dependent on google. But yes google adsense is best for me. So I am using it.
