How many times have you heard “I hate Google” in the last year? We all know that Google is all-powerful when it comes to marketing on the internet. They’ve turned into the ones that internet marketers love to hate. I get someone ranting about their unfair practices in my email inbox every day. And not more than a week ago, a network marketing friend of mine called to say that someone had called him the middle of the night to say that they were going to shut down his YouTube channel. And they did. Pretty freaky, huh?

The latest news is from Mike Dillard. He writes. . .It’s Official . . .Google = Morons, and you can see the rest paraphrased here. . .

Google is totally out of control. Over the past year, they’ve gone on a rampage what they term is “providing a better search experience for visitors” by canceling the accounts of their most active, (and legitimate) PPC advertisers. If you don’t know it already, this is called “the Google Slap”.

Dillard goes on to say that his sources tell him that Google has fired the 30,000 outsourcers who make up their compliance department because they’ve pretty much kicked EVERYONE off.

Now here’s the biggie. . .

Mike Dillard has a Google Rep for his Adwords account who actually took part in designing and approving his campaigns. Google called him because they claimed to like his sites and wanted to see him using PPC to promote BetterNetworker.com

Just a couple weeks later, their compliance department actually slaps the campaigns that Dillard’s Google representative created!

Hence the Google = Morons email that I just received in the mail.

Now the good part of this “I hate Google” movement is that more and more alternatives are being offered to all of us. Stay tuned because I will discuss some of them in my next article.
