    I have been creating a list of things to ask. I want to be professional, but I want answers as well.

    "Is Google concerned that the small business man is suffering due to the index problems Google has been having this past month?"

    If you are contacted they will want to see you credentials and where the supposed interview will take place and appear.

    If they are okay with that then

    You will then be told nicely how things will occur and you will be given non answers just as Matt Cutts blog and anything else google prints shows to be expert communication spin that leaves everyone lost including Stephen Hawking..

    Good luck

    In other words, you wont be interviewing google, google will be interviewing you, all the biggies work this way, you will end up forgetting what you started it all for in the first place, google is a pimp and were its Biatches, and its always gonna be that way. ;)

    hi Melissa,

    are you a real journalist? Or are you just trying to convince them? :)

    you could ask them why results appear and then disappear, then appear again. my site (after june 27) ranks on page 8 (pre 27 was page 1) then completely is gone from the SERPs the next day, then shows up again deep in the SERPS. What's up with yo-yo SERPS results?

    Ask them how they get away with accusing people of fraud and then not having to produce evidence. Ask them if they think that is "evil".

    Telling someone how they got caught is telling them or their friends how not to get caught next time.

    Ask them to compare the value of text ads with value of TV ads (with and without Tivo-ing) and junk mail? In other words, what is it like to be the best value in advertising and be under attack by so many.

    You make the assumption of guilt. You have obviously been put under the spell. Too bad.

    I remember a place where accusations had to be backed up by proof. Yet, google won't provide proof. While some people have admitted guilt and should be excluded from certain programs based on that, what about those that have not admitted guilt nor are in fact guilty?

    But that's another thread.

    Good luck Melissa.

    I have to assume that Google is either competent to determine fraud or that they are randomly or carelessly kicking people out. If you have observed them and studied them (review their pre-employment test for fun) you would give them the benefit of the doubt.

    If you observe the people that complain "Google kicked me out for no apparent reason" you will find that most of them are boys who used there mom's bank account and developed a brilliant scheme to defraud Google by getting the kids on their school bus to click on their ads.

    Am I under their spell? No, I am not happy with a number of things from both the Adwords and Adsense side of things and on SERP and SEO issues but I appreciate what their trying to do.

    A reporter from the Chicago Tribune (verified via email and caller ID) called me last week about Google's Big Daddy update and how Google's updates have been affecting my site. Apparently they have been interviewing different web publishers so I don't know if my interview will get past the cutting room floor, but it is good to know that a major newspaper is researching this issue.

    Lets hope they produce a really good article that exposes what is going on with Google.

    I have some bad news for all of you.

    An article by the Chicago Tribune is not going to effect Google in any way shape or form whatsoever.

    In case you have not read the papers of any note in the last five years or so.... Google has received bad press and publicity from every major newspaper publishing group in the United States of America and Internationally for the most part...and has been sued several times over its method of operations through various business channels it runs.....and those have received press coverage in every form conceivable and yet

    the stock stays even for the most part..

    Ahh the Chitown Tribune fantasises over the possibility it could bring down Google...

    You're own personal fantasies in life... are more apt to happen.

    Half of mine have :D

    Peace
