I used to never care much about this kind of thing, but they are getting greedy in my opinion. I doubt many care about this, but I happened to become aware that there is a strong chance that my Google rep may or may not work with others in my niche.Of course he or she would not admit it outright, but fell short of stating it is not out of the realm of possibilites. I figured out this occurs because my rep passed on suggestions and stated that it was a custom proposal. I asked multiple times if she or he really customized this and it was not autogenerated. The rep said he or she spent a great deal of time on it and custom wrote everything. Thats fine and good, but the items she or he "customized were EXACT copies of what my competitors were using" thats when i called this person out and they had to back peddle.

Whats wrong with that? Some may not think anything is wrong with that, but think about it like this...

If you have 1 rep dedicated to your account and to your top competitors account they are basically pulling strings and toying with both parties to get them to raise bids so Google can make more money.

Its business and that the way it is, but you would think that for a company that does no evil that they would at least not have the same rep working multiple competitor accounts. That just seems like they can take driven succesful models and share it with your competitors. So it would be good for 2 parties in this case, the competitor that needs help and Google.

I am speculating on that of course, but I am convinced that Google is at the very least assigning reps to multiple competitor accounts on a regular basis. I guess its ethical and legal because I have never heard anyone say a word about it.

So i hope that the feds crack down on Google because they need better regulation some how.
