Don't Be Evil
Friday, April 16, 2010
No, I'm not trying to be preachy and tell you to all be good kids, perform random acts of kindness and hand out free hugs. I'm not doing that because I assume most of my readers are straight. The title of this blog is "Don't Be Evil" because that is Google's motto.
I'm sure most of you have seen my ads are no longer being published on my website, which takes away about half of the money I've made on this site so far. Is it my fault that my readers read a story and then saw that the ads pertained to them and decided to click them? Nope. It's not. Regardless, them shutting down my ad's aren't what I'm mad at. I'm mad that there is not an email address to write to to appeal this decision. They have an appeal form which I filled out twice, but each time it said "a confirmation email has been sent to you, if you haven't received it check your spam box". I checked my spam box and never got the confirmation email. So I called Google headquarters where I spoke to someone who didn't know anyone who works in the Google Adsense department. Fannnnnntastic! I asked if she had an email for someone and she said that she didn't have any contacts at all, that the only thing I could do is post on the help forum and hope for some help. I did that...no response.
I have NO recourse at all for this...NONE. No one to call, no one to email, and their forms (which take a while to fill out) do not work. Hell, I don't even have someone to contact about their forms not working. Pretty Skynet-like if you ask me (Terminator reference).
Anyway, I wasted a bunch of my time to find out there was no answer, seems pretty evil to me!
