eww.google. is really starting to get on my nerves. Google has been such a major problem since those kids sold it over to the new CEO. Google Adwords has already gotten a bad name; what's next?

Is it just me or is it extremely unlikely that someone who actually thinks they know a great way of making money on the web will be enticed by the $25 'grand prize'?

Writers Needed- $250/hr — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:32:19 -0000

Yeah, every since those two kids that created Google sold it over to the current CEO now, it has been a disaster! People have been complaining of how they are being ripped off by Google Adsense and Google Adwords. Google is being sued right now by thousands of companies for their unethical practices. Google is only in it for the money! Google Adwords is a rip off itself. Bidding on keywords is such as sham!

Bidvertiser jumped on the bandwagon and they are no better than Google Adwords! Some companies have even complained that Google has hired others to click on ads so they can free up 'space' for other potential buyers. I don't know how true this is, but Google is starting to leave a bad taste in people's mouths.

While I am the first to agree that the focus on content is good for authors in the long run, it is worth noting that this does lead to a "get content at all cost" mentality among many and it will lead to a secondary rise in plagiarism and automatic content generation. This means that, though writers will find good business on the Web, protecting their work will be both more important and more difficult.

It is the duality of the Web, for every good, there must come some evil...

Patti Stafford — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 10:03:41 -0000

How many times over the past few years have we discussed this? Maybe Google is eavesdropping on IM messages and finally realizing THEY did in fact create an ugly monster.
Google Adwords itself is horrendous. I remember the days when I could click a Google Adwords link and find something useful. Those days are gone and all you are left with is the same old shoddy sites. They must be making money though because their links keep showing up.
I no longer click Google's suggestions. If it has the link on the ad, I will type that into my address bar. I'm usually left disappointed.

I was a bit 'upset' that Google's CEO said, (paraphrased from memory) "you guys created the content". This is true, but writers were only following the guidelines set by..you guessed it..Google.

I personally think this PageRank crap is just that...crap. I've seen horrible sites with a great PR. I've seen great sites with no PR. So the little mousetrap they built has malfunctioned.

I wanted to add this link as well. I enjoyed the comments here as much as I did the main piece.

Great post, Patti. I knew there were other services out there but never really bothered to look.

I personally use www.multiply.com for my personal blogging. It's really more of a social networking site but it has a great blogging platform where I can choose who can view my posts-- limited to specific contacts, my network or everyone. You can also find some great content from the other members if you look around. Here's the link to my page, if you want to look at an example: ryam.multiply.com

Re: Using A Pen Name

Jonathan Bailey — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 09:41:29 -0000

It is worth noting that, with a pen name, you do shorten the copyright term of your work, or at least alter it. Since it is now a psuedononymous work, it lasts 95 years from the date of creation, instead of seventy years past the death of the author. Not a big deal, but a technicality.

Great article as usual.
