Here’s my comment (I’m ‘caleido’ there)——————————————————-
Just got my account banned yesterday. Here I am whining…
Google’s Violations (of business ethics):
1. They don’t talk (no spesific explanation ever be made on any accusations)
2. They don’t write (not even single spesific explanation of what they want. just kick everyone out. yeah their “robots” do writes and doing the customer (dis)service! what a technology. I remember the story when terrorists put up a demand, and keep blowing everything off.)
3. They don’t read (their customers story and emails, and so many complaints on various forums)
4. They don’t hear (what you’re saying. you will keep redirected to their shiny guidelines and policy which everybody understands clearly but their robots. Well, no wonder since they put robots to listen and judge what we humans are saying)
5. They don’t review (how could they review if they don’t even acknowledge that there’s A problem.)
6. They are “not responding” to anything (typical attitude of company full of smartest ‘technicians’)
7. They are experimenting their toys with people’s businesses, and they put another toy to handle their frustations instead of put a close attention (using real humans) of what might gone wrong.
7. They created an affiliate network themselves, and they prohibit people from using PPC (yes. you’re not safe even if you’re promoting their programs. At least I was not.)
8. They keep talking about improving service to their user. But they’re giving them fewer options and cloudy results by improving their disservice to their affiliates (yes we were Google’s affiliates). Soon, advertisers will put their eggs in other PPC networks, and will help users that using other search engines to pinpoint what they want.
9. They rank you for the #1 in organic listing, but they’re saying your website stinks and is ‘offending’ to their users.
10. They accuse wrong good people by painting their white hats with black toxic image of what they ‘think’ a website shouldn’t look like.
11. They have no respect to conservative marketers that have learned marketing by list building and using middlemen (affiliates) to penetrate a market, by trying to kill affiliate marketing and email marketing instead of rule them out in certain way.
12. They ban people PERMANENTLY. With no second chance for explanation nor mercy. No matter if you think how clean you are. What their algorithm ‘think’ is what matters. (I don’t know about class action suit things, but I’m sure if the court suddenly shut G off without warning and reasons, they WOULD p*ssed off. In the end they’re not different than any of us).
Our Violation:
1. Put everything including our trust (because their service were so trustworthy) in Adwords.
Yes things will turn very quick if Google doesn’t respond to anything.
If Google turn their face on everyone this quick, they will see how fast people will turn their face against them.
They’ve built trust over a decade. And they’re selling out those trusts most people have put in just months.
If you haven’t got banned yet, don’t ever hold a party. I know some people would. I was. But sooner or later, with G’s new ‘clever robots’ keep around, you WILL ‘violate’ one or more of their only-robots-will-know rules. Even if you don’t do anything to your account, it just a matter of time before you completely out of the game for your life without you even know why.
This is not a nightmare. this is worst than that. This is reality.
Keeping their new bad robot puppies, and their “not responding” attitude will turn people’s trust into anger and sentiments faster than they think.
Yeah… I never believe computers can compute collaterals…if they can, the world would already has a future prediction broadcast so accurately that everyone would be safe already. no more worries for the future.
O’ naive humans…that’s God’s play.
Disclaimer: I’m not accusing staffs as robots. I’m not accusing as technicians doing all this. I’m not accusing everyone who using Adwords as white hatted.
