Google sucks thread..

    well, I really liked google, they were the search engine that revolutionized the net. I also liked their be good exhortation, but they seem to get more and more evil tactics.

    Here is the bad:

    1. I wanted to use targeted ads in adwords and chose a site. But my ads didn't show and nowhere did it say why. I raised the payment and monitored it for several days and nothing happened. After two weeks, suddenly ads begun to work, and I hadnt checked it for 2-3 days. I had to pay google about $250 for like 10 clicks, it generated no revenue at all. I complained several times saying it was malfunction, they replied the ads had not been shown due to it first had to be approved (which wasnt said anywhere) and the approval didnt send me any mails or anything, I just logged in and found my google account was charged the $250. I even complained to my credit card company (amex) who didnt do anything to help me saying I had a contract with google. (how do people charge back, I sure was not able to) So google just cheated me $250 and replied me several times saying they would not refund me.

    2. Their adsense is terrorising people, about suspension etc, even when you dont think you have done anything wrong. I got a warning and asked them to kindly say what I had done wrong, and they replied they won't say. I replied again and said I dont think I have done anything wrong, got same reply, when I did it a third time they even said they would close my account if I insisted and that they wont reply anymore about this case.

    3. Google checkout. Haha, a paypal copy. well, anyone who has used paypal knows their chargebacks are headaches. Google has launched the same service with charge backs etc. They even offer you payment with adwords, which should put them in court for unlawful competition acts, just like microsoft was drawn to court by only using IE as web browser in Windows.

    I don't know when a company gets from good personal service, to we treat you as we like, but google seems to have passed that line now. they even own googlesucks.com:

    And i dont hate google ... but one thing i dont like is that google is practically approoving all kinds of sites into adsense program and it is resposible for decreasing the web publishing standars and quality of content on intenet . Practically i can see many hundreds of sites using same content and are useless all ways.

    OK so you hate Google because its not working out so here are some tips.

    1: Close your adwords account and use MSN or Yahoo.

    2: Close your Adsense account and use someone else

    3: <meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">

    If you are not willing to do the above well then...

    Google has made alot of changes. Alot of people who are making a living are going to other PPC as well as finding other ways to promote products.

    If you have real targeted keywords and a great landing page you can still get low CPC.

    If not google is going to punish you and make your CPC out of this world!

    Need More Help PM me and lets talk about it!

    They are comming out whith a new PPC like google. Also I had to wait for a few weeks till I was approved.

    My own opinion is I didnt like it and cancelled it.

    1. My most important site has made in index, but only 23 pages out of a few thousand.
    2. They made $1.04billion of revenue from adsense in the past year.
    3. They purchased YouTube, now they are bigger than they were before, and nobody seems to able to stop them.
    4. Too many MFA sites appearing top in seach results.
    5. They are threatening people with adsense too much...
    6. Their software is great... perfect unless you want to give google more cash for the professional versions.

    I should clarify: I don't like Google much, but I still make a ton of money with Adsense.

    There is nothing close for "easy money".

    The main reason I make money on Adsense is:

    I've had one website that used to sell a product for 8 years. When I quit selling the product, the pages were still geared toward "closing sales", so I placed Adsense where the "Buy" button used to be. This resulted in high CPM for quite some time.

    Thats just ridiculous. I agree with 1 but 2,3 are bogus.

    If adsense works with your site and you have no worries about them paying you on time, keep it. Telling googlebot not to index your site and cut off traffic is another stupid thing to do and totally unrelated to #1.

    My best thoughts for the OP is to just open a YPN advertiser account. Google has way too many problems with adwords.
