Neglect by Google

Failure to properly take care of my site

[vincevincevince]

I am becoming ever more disappointed by Google. I have been part of Adsense for a few years now but they have been ignoring me since the beginning.

Google have never cut my EPC to virtually nothing, even when I got out of bed on the wrong side

Google have not yet even banned me, despite the many threads here filled with people who have been banned.

My cheque has never been lost in the post and has always arrived on time. Google has never taken the time to lose it.

Despite my best efforts, Google still insists on sending me targetted ads. I know this is not normal from what I've been reading here.

I have not been smartpriced into the dust. I seem to have been the only advertiser singled not to benefit from the earnings reduction promised under the smartpricing scheme.

My websites have a lack of MFA adverts, try as I might, I cannot get units filled with ebay and MFAs. I feel this is rather unfair and I am quite angry about this.

In summary Google has not been bothering with my account. All the new developments that everyone here has been reporting have not been permitted to me. Google has been forcing a slowly rising EPC and CTR on me against my will.

I am looking for advice about what I can do to remedy this situation. Should I complain to Google? Just give up Adsense and look for something better?

Ha! Vince you're funny. I had to read your post twice. :)

At least now I know I am not on my own.
Got the same trouble Vince...

VVV, this is unacceptable, and blatant disregard to you as a client, have you tried contacting support? Don't bother they probably will reply immediately to your question, how rude! Next you are going to tell me that you too are making good earnings, I just can't stand it anymore, we have to take a stand, enough is enough!

vincevincevince, you're definitely not alone. (I've been in the same situation since joining AdSense.)

You actually had a very good idea to let the publishers (and people considering joining AdSense) know that the fact that 99% of the posts here are complaints about AdSense does not mean that every AS site out there is Smart-Priced or infested by MFAs.

>>try as I might, I cannot get units filled with ebay and MFAs

Try optimizing some pages for things like new and used dog food and then they will not be able to withhold ebay from your site any more. You have to fight back!

I don't think Google has a single bit of concern on the lack of new publishers to join AS.... :P

But it is the art of a business like Google to keep most partners and users happy if not all. And how to minimize unhappy partners/ users.

vincevincevince, I have one up on you: my cheque got lost in the post a year ago! But for the rest, it's the same here, Google do not bother.

Ebay affiliatedom vs Google adsense, which rocks ,

I see next to nothing about Ebay affiliates here, so,,

Hi VVV,

Count me in on the "Google completely refuses to be nasty to me" club...

Maybe we should sue them or something, for not giving us a sob-story to take to the press.

(B^>: Irony clue for the hard-of-humour.)

As a rational man, definitely at least for a trial run.
