Dear google engineers. You may be proud of your Algorithms. You have put millions of dollars and years of hard work into them. But lets face the truth: Your Algorithms still haven an IQ of about 5 and if your Algo could walk I would not hire it to wrap fish in a newspaper on a fish market. Hey - it does not even recognize synonyms. My three year old nephew has greater text recognition abilities.

Nevertheless you think it fit to decide about the quality of my landing pages and think it is ok business behaviour to deactivate keywords at will. You don't even think its necessary to send me an email to inform me about this. Or send out a warning message a few days in advance so I can take appropriate measures.

My three year old nephew has better behaviour.

You are doing evil.

The great advantage of the Adwords program has always been that I could design the landing pages entirely for humans with no regard to search engines. Now I have to design them for your mentally disordered Algorithm with an IQ of an ameba.

So much for the rant. Now I would appreciate any suggestions about how I get those keywords back on.

To clarify this a bit: If my three year old nephew is sitting on your lap he will give you a warning before he pees on you. And if you fail to recognize his warning at least you get immediately notified when it happens.

I echo your sentiments. Regarding getting keywords reactivated. I have read a few posts where people have had a bit of success - although in the main I think not. If you are able to change domain name, then that will work. However I would suggest that you try to meet Googles guidelines re quality of landing page etc, so that you don't get another swipe next time around. Alternatively, you can try to improve the landing pages and then ask for a manual review.

As Judge Judy would say..

Google will pee on your leg and not even tell you it is raining.

I don't understand what is wrong with advertising free technical information - providing that info and at the same time hoping to attract visitors to buy a product about that information or to hire my company to do the work for them.

Anyone know the reason G hates the advertising of the free info?

It doesn't. It hates the fleas that don't get fleas.

Google knows very well that its business is based on tricking people into clicking adds by making it as normal hyper links on internet.

They have to first stop the shady tricks of blending and make clear to users that add links are advertisments by companies/individuals paid to promote other websites.Then users will know they click and act on their own responsiblity.

They cannot do it, as clicks will reduce considerably and they will loose revenue.

The only alernative being acting as web police and arresting everyone as suspects.

I still dont understand how paying more, makes the website more quality instantly?

I dont see any publishers getting more money after the so called claims of removing fleas.

The reason is search money goes to google 100%, but content dont as its split with publishers, and thats why publishers still live with fleas.
And it will make sense why paying more increases the quality of the same website on the search.

You are quite right, of course, that paying more doesn't increase the quality of a site.

However, if you were a publisher, you may take a different view about Ads placed on your page. You may want to see good Ads to quality sites that provide a service to your visitors. You may be prepared to accept Ads to less valuable sites if they pay well enough. A publisher may consider a $20 click to be a Quality Ad - wherever it leads!

But surely G's aim is to encourage webmasters to improve the value of their sites to the surfers - very high minimum bids forces a change. It's a shame that some good sites seem to get hurt as well though.

>>But surely G's aim is to encourage webmasters to improve the value >>of their sites to the surfers.

I dont think so, yet. The quality initiative has not affected the content ads that web sites carry.

The so called non quality pages dont show up only on google search, elsewhere they are still running on all websites with adsense.

Google is concerned only about google.com search results, all other websites still carry the non quality or MFAs.

The reason is google gets 100% on the search clicks, but webmasters still live with fleas of the content ads.

The quality initiative is just a BS to get more money for G.
