i Think Google has Changed its " Don't be evil " to " Do as much as evil to every one " Here is what i mean : > Google Adwords : large amount of People is Facing Problems with adwords since March 1 st week Please see this threads : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1268731 http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdWords/label?lid=237f4fce1c2fa7a9&hl=en > Adsense : Google has almost stopped accepting new publishers these days at least from certain geography. > Google has started Mass Adsense Suspending for small publishers and also from certain regions. The funny thing is they will be disabled just few days before the payment has to be done > Lot of problems with Adsense Payments. Cheque Has no Cheque Number, MIRC, Cheque sent even when on Hold, cheque sent through local courier ( which costs less than 1 $ ) deducting $25 saying it will send through DHL ..funny thing is this reaches 5 to 10 days late. see ( http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1256795 >Cheques getting Dishonored > Latest Behavioral Ads Privacy Concerns > Google Check out Matching Paypal fees, From now on no benefit of adwords spend related. > Reporting Glitches: Adwords/Adsense Clicks not updating for 5 to 12 hours. > Gmail Not accessable in certain regions, Gmail Going down long hours > Google Itself doing Reverse Arbitrage through Adsense Ads . Is is good if Google itself does ? ( see here : http://www.labnol.org/internet/google-advertising-search-on-adsense/7750/ ) Like this there are hundreds of issues these days. SO i Can Assume Google is doing Every thing evil!
Yeah, that is a great list of the current problems webmasters are talking about - and I'm sure there are more. One thing I recommend for everyone is to stop using the Google Analytics. You're basically feeding EVERYTHING about your website directly to their database. Use the wonderful free stats from statcounter.com as an alternative. They're great and that way you're not feeding Google info about your business. Anybody here experienced problems using Google Checkout - especially if they're selling ebooks? I've been thinking about using them as an alternative payment processor, but again, with Google being such a monopoly I'm getting wary about giving them access to everything I do online. Dan
Hello... Seems you forgot one of many ... Webmaster relations.... Exactly!......... it dont exist You would think that for such an authority SE they could at least let a guy know in webmaster tools what the cause of his site penalty was for... Look just in this section alone and you will see hundreds of questions.. Why is my site banned Why isnt my site showing up for its own name why have my backlinks been removed why doesnt my site have PR why when i do a reclusion request i get no answers Why cant i get in touch with adsence team why was my publisher account terminated Its not like they cant make the system better... its that they dont care... laterz malcolm
I just signed up for adsense the other day. The exit link on my statcounter has already shown one exit link yesterday that was not counted by google. I will keep an eye on this.
No Adsense for me. I have never been able to figure out why Google does things the way they do, same with Alexa. Sometimes I think they don't even know whats going on either.
let me give an example, in google.cn è°·æŒ , you can't find many websites about democracy movement and also some religion and spirituality movement. Money is no.1 concern for them...almost all big companies doing like that.
Yep - not ebooks but website memberships.. they suspended my GC account and when i emailed asking why, they confirmed that even though I had not violated any rules or their TOS, they "could not meet my business needs" and kept the account closed.
Adwords/Adsense Clicks not updating for 5 to 12 hours is an greater problem as i knw even i have expirenced they were not updated at all !!!
Global Finacial crisis causing this kind of issue. All the company nee to cut the cost for survive. cant blame them too
