Google be @!*#?% and a message to Newbies from RadioDad ( RadioDaddy )
mgraphic,
Many of you may have noticed the google ads have been removed from the site. As thousands of sites have now found out, the google adsense division are crooks and thieves. Though we've been with adsense since 2004, out of the blue Wednesday evening we received the dreaded invalid clicks email. Of course this came with no explanation, no evidence and no way to follow up with a human being. We've sent off emails to the higher ups at google, but going into the weekend, it's likely we wont hear anything until next week. And if the rest of the adsense "rumors" are correct, maybe never. What I can promise is, there will never be google ads on the site again. We're experimenting with some other providers on the site now. Adsense was a major source of revenue that paid some of the basic bills. They also have stolen over $300 from previous earnings, which I understand will never be paid nor refunded to advertisers. What would you call that? A donation? I call it thievery. This is apparently a major scam they play, waiting for earnings to accumulate, then pulling the plug. Doesn't make any sense though since in the long run the loose far more than the $300 the took from RadioDaddy. Many of you who know me, already can see what's next. An anti google website is coming! Additionally we will be putting together a section on the new site that will begin the foundation for a class action lawsuit and possibly criminal proceeding against google executives. If you have been screwed by google, please let me know, we'll put you on the list to be the first to know when the site is launched. I've waited a few days to calm down, so far I am just as pissed as I was Thursday night. So look out google, here we come!
