Google is failing the Microsoft litmus test - Open letter to Google
I must say that I totally agree with Mary Jo Foley. Read her article here and I bet many of you will have the same feeling as me.
Especially after the email I get yesterday from Google AdSense staff I get quite nervous about their attitude.In short I don’t care about their mega supra extraordinary algorithm which detect and decide if the clicks on the adds from my website are legitimate or not as long a I have no way to control the source of the traffic to my website and from where the people are coming to it.
The real problem which I don’t understand is WHY they want to suspend my AdSense account instead of stopping to show the ads if they detect a suspect visitor to my website and leave the ads in place for the legitimate ones ? More than that, they are not open to provide us any information related to which websites are banned so we can protect from their visitors !
Now please Mr. Google Big Brother explain me how do you expect me to stop the visitors that are not legitimate to my website ? I am an open person and I must say: from the beginning of this website I get around 22 clicks totaling the amazing amount of $2.69. A real black hole in the budget of your advertisers(and in mine too because I used AdWords also).How many from these are fraudulent ones ?
I was a real Google fan but I have the feeling that they will make the real spirit of Google history in a very short time.Their attitude from the last months has opened many eyes and if you ask me, Yes, Google becomes Evil and keeping in mind his trust gained in the past, is even more Dangerous than Microsoft or any other company.
As a result, starting from today I have REMOVED any of their ads from this blog because I don’t want to contribute in any way in their glorious World Reorganization. A few guys in our history have try that and we all see what happened.
GOODBYE GOOGLE
yes.. i do agree with what you have said.
as a matter of fact we have no way to control the source of the traffic to our website and from where the people are coming to it and if such suspected users click on our ads then we are banned…
I had also the same case..my adsense account has also been banned which had a total of $45…After this i just left google and its ads services ..This activity has become a real shame to google.
Now I am using kontera which is pretty decent and appreciable….
