Does it seem to you that google want every site to be transparent to them, but that want to hide everything from us. 1) We don't know how much clicks are worth. 2) Analytics do not tell you when and on what page or even what ads were clicked on. 3) We have no data about clicks so we don't know when a click is invalid or they just say it's invalid. 4) Analytics does not track every ad click. 5) We have no idea why accounts get cancelled. 6) We have no way on contacting Google, yet they are making BILLIONS off of us. 7) if we do send them an email, we might get an answer we might not. 8) They only answer the questions the want on their blogs and Youtube video channels The list goes on and on. I understand it is not easy to run a huge program like Adsense , but don't you all think WE the people that do 90% of the work to earn them money deserve some kind of respect? Im not asking for their super secret KFC algorithm herd and spices, just as little as being able to ask a question and get an answer. Am I the only one that feels like this?
Yeah, a list can go on and on when a lot of the things on it are just plain WRONG (1 for example, 2 for example, 6 for example) If you're tired of it, go find a program that's more transparent and quit griping.
looks like you should just quit adsense, google won't miss you. Don't like it leave. No body forced you to play the adsense game
OP...we do 90% of the work? Have you ever gone out and tried to get advertisers? Successfully? Not that easy sometimes, way more than 10% of the job. As far the rest of the "work" I don't really call it work when half the people (or more) in adsense don't do any work except to copy someone else's content so they can have a site, too.
revolution people , lets go to google's headquarters! just kidding but you are right Articlestopost.com , but they might say : if you dont like our program just sign out.
Damn ad pubester do you work for google, damn you even have a link to there TOS. WOW. Sorry to offend you google drones. Please prove my stats are wrong, because I can prove my stats are right. Plus I wasn't calling for a revolution, just the ability to have an email answered. I make a full time living of adsense and have for many years, I am just tired of not being able to account for over 30 clicks lost every month. By my account that is an average of $120 Im not getting in my pockets.
Google will probably never tell you all their secrets, the day they do, they are out of the business. Just live with it.
You're the one making the claim so prove them...prove that we are doing 90% of all that is involved in setting up an ad network. I have successfully contacted google adsense many times which disproves number 6
Dude how much does google pay you? I want a piece of that action. I have tried many times and all I get is the same old auto reply message. Please tell me how you get in contact with them, there this forum is fill with question everyday asking how to contact google.You have the hookup because you work for them. I SEE.
Not sure where you get that idea...yes I have a link to the TOS and Policies in my sig. The reason for that is so darn many posts on this forum can be answered with a quick look at them that I was tired of copy/pasting the urls so it's a lot easier to just refer people "to the link in my sig" I contacted them through regular channels with well thought out and well written (that's probably a key) messages. I have gotten personal responses from people who were obviously human and who obviously ready my email because they addressed the very questions I asked in it. Are you going to prove your statistic of 90%?
We are the majority. If we the publishers stop switch to chitikita of whatever tomorrow. Where would google be. Google search, Youtube, knols, and all the rest of their sites combine don't make you what be make them. Therefore 90% 0f their income come from us. They just provide a service, we provide the content.
Major understatement. Neglecting the fact that a lot of the publishers out there DON'T provide any NEW content, consider the infrastructure, programming, database work, etc, required to set up ad serving. You are also comparing apples and oranges because, even if we DID do 90% of the work, YOU don't do it, we COLLECTIVELY do it. You, yourself, probably do less than 1/10000000th the work. Do you really have any idea of the work involved in locating and signing up advertisers? Of handling their ad copy and make sure the appropriate ads are delivered to the sites based upon the content? Or the resources to track the accesses, clicks etc? Or the resources to fight off the multitude of invalid clicks? Have you considered what effort that must be? Yes, I can see why you'd bitch if you made the site just to put adsense on it and adsense was the entire game and purpose for your site (course that, in itself, is against TOS...see the link in my sig lol) If you are making the site to actually provide a service, then the simple addition of the adsense code is not something you're going to strain yourself too heavily to do.
wow nice come back dude, why don't you go back to your corner and cry about Google not paying enough attention to you? If you don't like the way you are being treated by Google, just leave and stop using Adsense. Is this you?
