I laughed when I saw this one. Had to share it. www.fuckedgoogle.com I wonder if it violates google's terms of service.
Sorry, webmaster guidelines located on their help page. What I'm trying to ask is, Does the site violate any of google's terms of service or their webmaster guidelines.
As far as I am concerned the website in question doesn't use any of the services that Google provide, so I'm not really sure what you mean. For example, if the website was serving ads via Google AdSense I could understand you questioning whether it violated the terms of service for the AdSense program, but the fact is it doesn't. It's just a blog.
Actually google.com has its tos. Then they have webmaster guidelines. Then adsense may have there own seperate tos. But don't worry too much bout it as I'm sure other people reading the post may have a better understanding of the discussion.
It’s apart of the “Freedom of Speech†But there are also things like defamation and hate crimes that are not covered under the Freedom of Speech, and as long as their statements are true, or believed to be truth amongst 12 people (jury) then it’s no problem. But I’m sure google have bigger fish to fry than to worry about something as small as this. However, I could be wrong, but so can 12 others.
It is an older site that went dead for a while; it used to be very popular and as you can tell by the large number of comments after only 3 posts, it still is. Basically, I am not surprised that it has PR 5.
Google can't have terms of service for domains not owned by them. That said it is definately a copyright infringement and Google will most likely take it away from whoever owns it.
Whoever was behind the old site had it registered by proxy for privacy, but this cat must be paid by Bill Gates because he is digging up a lot of shit for sure!
Copyright infringement not necessarily. If its explaining and examining all the evil things Google does then I'm sure any court would throw out googles case.
The admin was saying that he was going to reveal something big on a specific date that was going to expose Google big time. Then the date arrived and everybody waited for the big news but from what I recall he just never posted anything. The site also was hacked around the same time from what I recall. Anyways, at some point, the admin said something like, "I figured out how to make money from Google via click fraud very easily but instead of exposing it to the world, I will take the money." There were promises that he would be back but it took a while. During the downtime someone started the fuckedgoogle.blogspot.com blog and some people thought that it was admin but apparently he was not. All this is from memory and honestly I did not care much about the story to follow it very carefully. Also, much of the info about the site getting hacked and the admin making money with click fraud was mostly rumors and it was never clear to me how much of it was true or not. So basically, don't quote me on anything on this topic
We won't! He was going to expose how easy it is to commit clickfraud sometime in June but kept changing the date. He finally picked June 16 but deleted the site instead. Someone posted on fuckedcompany.com not long after that claiming to have hacked the FG site. A blogger on WP, imnotmarah, picked up the story and agreed it might have been hacked because the comment section of his site was abused with "fake admin" comments in it's final days (anyone can post as the admin which she didn't realize). Imnotmarah's blog and fuckedgoogle.wordpress.com were started on Wordpress the same day (June 17 or 18) to discuss what happened to FG, and imnotmarah was big on the hacking theory for a while, so that's why people think it was hacked if they didn't visit FG after the admin put the site back up in early July. The admin never clarified one way or the other but the site apparently wasn't hacked; according to him he just didn't want to go through with a clickfraud expose because his friend wanted to make more money off of it. They made $25,000 during their clickfraud experiment but he claimed he was donating every penny to the Humane Society of San Francisco (I guess he likes animals). The fuckedgoogle.blogspot.com site was started on June 16, the same day the other admin deleted FG, and was an imitation of it right down to the photoshop style, the subject matter, and the signature ("admin") but nothing he wrote "sounded" like the real admin or mentioned the clickfraud expose or other ongoing themes of FG. It was a vanity thing for someone who just wanted to *be* admin, which is kind of scary, but he wasn't the real admin. The real admin restored the real FG in early July but deleted it without explanation again a few days later. The domain name for it was redirected to the fake admin's fuckedgoogle.blogspot.com a week or two after that which started another round of conspiracy theories on fuckedgoogle.wordpress.com. The redirect lasted about 2 days, then the real FG was deleted again altogether. That's not the end of it...by that September the real FG site was redirecting to an MSN Live Spaces site (a free blog of some sort) with a post on it that he was back again. While people left comments on it welcoming his return he never wrote a single thing about Google on it. In late Nov. he deleted every comment (some which featured an angry fan or two) and wrote that he had "a new site" that he'd have up and running "by tomorrow." The next day he deleted that post, too, and left the blog empty with comments completely disabled. Shortly before Christmas he restored the "real" FG again, (no redirects this time) with another "We're back" message. There's a lot of comments there and a few new posts but no old posts. He's had pretty high demand from fans, some who are clearly going nuts, for him to restore old posts and to update. In response to that he's restored the old look of the site and written a new post or two but that's it. He claims he's been sick (like flu/virus sick) twice since the holidays, and says he's doing everything as fast as he can.
Google don't own the internet. It could be a trademark infringement (Google don't like people using google in domain names) but it's not a ToS issue.
I don't think that he is going to be able to put google adsense ads on this one I can't think of any advertiser who would dare to advertise on this site and risk pissing off Google.
