Your getting raped analagy and the fact that you have adsense on your site still reminds me of the joke my wife got in a text the otherday, it went something like this: Warning: There are muggers out and about in the Asda Car Park. There are 2 hunky men mugging middle aged women in the Asda Car Park. These nubile young men dressed in skin tight shorts and tight fitting shirts follow you to your car, bundle you into the back and one of them has his wicked way with you whilst the other steals your purse. So far, I have been mugged twice on Moday, Wednsday and Thursday and once again on Saturday. Be Carefull. Sorry to agree with others but if you don't like it, remove the ads and try something else!
one option is to advertise your own stuff so that all the proceeds will go to you...call it oldGym Ads...Ads by ooooooooldGym
I think you're believing too much hype. I have an adwords account for several larger companies I consult for. I know how much they pay per click and I have seen their ads come up on sites so I know how much those sites made. Its a lot more fair than you think.
the difference in highest bid and 3 rd highest can be huge. I think google is fair. Maybe the ads hsowing on your page are less valuable ones.
I am always so amused by this type of threads. Google is a voluntary program. You can choose to leave whenever you wish. If Google is indeed raping you, then you are the one who opened the door, invited him, and then slipped on a comfy lingerie and laid down on your belly for him.
