Google Adwords Manipulation of Results; Failure in Advertising

This page updated 5/3/14

Update 1/25/11; I performed a test of Google using my wife and two employees names, addresses and unique emails. I requested a Google Adsense account for these websites: *Aquarium Information, *Aquarium Answers, *UV Bulbs, & *Misti King Family Blog. The first three are regularly plagiarized and have very unique content (especially Aquarium Answers), however the forth is a more ordinary blog (no offense to Misti), that does not have nearly the content nor is it plagiarized. Guess what? Google denied the three that they are already placing Adsense on plagiarized web sites without legal permission while allowing the third. If this does not speak volumes about the corruption and dishonesty that is rampant at Google, nothing will. Sadly the news media and others love affair with this allegedly EXTREMELY CORRUPT LIBERAL CORPORATION guarantees nothing will ever come of this. I also doubt that any lawyers with integrity will ever step forward and take on a class action lawsuit against this disgusting company

Although Google is the darling of the drive-by-media (which has about as much credibility any more as Osama Bin Laden has in teaching others to love their neighbors), they have actually gotten worse with their hypocritical use of Adwords/Adsense on illegal blogs/websites that use copyrighted articles to make money for both them and Google.
Reference: List of News Media Lies

What Google is doing is nothing new and not personal against me, this is how they treat all small businesses and individuals and why they are the multi billion dollar company they are, by going after and taking money from the little guy that cannot afford lawyers. Say what you will about Bill Gate's business practices, at least he has gone after those who can afford lawyers and to get the medias attention (I will also point out he is the #1 contributor to Autism research, etc. in the world).

Recent Google Searches have yielded many sites, but a web site in particular has ripped multiple articles from these web pages I own/copyrighted:
*Aquarium Answers Posts
*Aquarium Information articles.
*Aquarium Lighting Article

In a search using excerpts from these and other researched and popular articles, helped me find this article chock full of Google Adsense/Adwords adverts

Here is the specific article plagiarized from me:
http://www.newportme.com/and-nanometers/aquarium-lighting-wattage-kelvin-and-nanometers.php (Please note that this url was not renewed, so my plagiarized content no longer displays on this particular website)

What is especially sad is that Adsense recently denied my article sites for content, and what makes this even more sad and blatently dishonest is that my articles are constantly researched and updated for accuracy of content, which these articles have not.
I have written many departments at Google and have gotten either no reply or lame dishonest answers such as Google stands by only offering up ads on the highest quality sites that have been checked by Google. WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP, and sadly many buy this load and continue to think Google is this company with the highest of integrity when the opposite is true!

I have spent the better part of 3 decades in hands on and research of outside sources to write my many articles, as well I have worked hard at providing often hard to find or unique products such as hard to find UV Bulbs & T5/T8 straight/standard UV Bulbs only to see Google take advantage of this to their dishonest gain.
Sources: http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/UVCReplacementLamp.html &
http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/T5T8UVBulbs.html

What Google does is to provide nice products such as Google Docs, email and many other first rate services (although I beg to differ as to the quality of their searches since they are weighted heavily by the old boy network at DMOZ).

I will admit that this is a blogger hosted blog, however it should be noted that I have been with Blogger for some time and that Google bought them out as they have many other good services.
How Google pays for this is their dishonest and corrupt business practices such as screwing the little guys such as myself that cannot afford a lawyer or a class action lawsuit that Google deserves (I doubt there are too many Lawyers with the Huevos Grandes to take on Google anyway).

Just in case Google does take action about this site in particular, here are a few screen shots that show just a little of the ripped articles and the hypocritical Google Adwords being run there:

AdWords Corruption:

Another aspect of Google Adwords/Adsense corruption is they Ad Scores. Google employees will not even be honest and tell you why an ad score is low, rather they hide behind a corrupt rating algorithm that is meant to score Ads low so as to charge more per click.
As an example, the search term "UV Bulb" & "UV Bulbs" gave me a score of 3 even though both search terms are contained there in. As well the landing page has both terms relevanty spread over the EXTREMELY content rich page with links to further related information NO OTHER site in Google Adwords provided.

Worse, a website that came up ahead of my ad took three clicks to reach the very popular G23 9 Watt UV bulb, and even then on a very content poor website (this even with a cost per click that is 40% of profit, which of coarse at normal CTR of 5% does not even come close to paying for the ad).
See product link:

Come on Google, who are you fooling other than Obamanites??

What others can do:

Hopefully someday others, especially either the masses or those with the power to inspire the masses such as the media or popular TV/Radio show hosts like Rush Limbaugh will put their money where their mouths are and call Google to the mat (and stop using the vomit inducing phrase “to Google something” instead of simply to search).
Maybe then Google as a company will rise to the quality of many of its services instead of the bottom feeder this company is currently (ask Steve Jobs his opinion of Google of late for ripping off his iPhone platform).

If a basic search engine is desired that does not collect your personal information and is what Google USED TO BE 10 years ago, consider:
DuckDuckGo

I have sent emails to many in my business and friends contact, as well I have urged members of my aquarium/pond forums to switch to using Yahoo or Bing as their home page instead of Google. I know of at least a couple dozen persons who have made this switch, which admittedly a drop in the bucket, but if enough other businesses with similar experiences start similar campaigns and those who received these forwarded emails do likewise, this can make a difference and Google will take notice (although in their extreme arrogance they may not figure out why).

As well Microsoft and Yahoo need to stop taking Google head on with their search engines, as although I strongly beg to disagree that Google is the better search engine (especially since they use DMOZ to weight many sites and DMOZ is nothing more than a good ole boy network of late), although sadly most in this country are convinced that Google is 'good'.
In my opinion the other search engines need to other unique services such as Google Apps, Docs, better blogging, less buggy email (are you listening Yahoo?), etc; maybe then many will switch just to use these services for which Google clearly is the king of for the time being.

Finally boycott websites that are nothing more than Google hacks such as Web Pro News, whose heavy handed editing removes posts that expose the truths about Googles business practices (I know as I used to comment there).
This goes especially Web Pro News writer Chris Crum who is so in love with Google it is down right pathetic. Chris Crum could give George Stephanopoulos a run for his money as to lack of integrity in journalism IMHO!

Google Love Affair

Google Adsense, Adwords Corruption, Dishonesty


I find the love affair with Google down right sickening. Yes Microsoft certainly has not always used ethics in its business dealings, but at least they have battled those who can afford lawyers and can call notice to actions via the media. I will also note that as a person with three special needs children (and paying a heavy personal and economic price for it) that at least Bill Gates is the number contributor to autism (from which my son suffers).

Google on the other hand goes after the little guy with no voice or legal budget.
I had an Adsense account a while back that had a day of malicious clicks (but not from us), Google well knows where the isp of these hits came from but they instead chose to take all my money that was built up in my account (I understand the questionable click money) all the while refusing to answer emails with anything other than form emails (then nothing).
On a positive note as of 2014, almost 9 years later, Google finally reinstated this account

WORSE, as someone who has spent a lifetime in research in aquatics with many unique articles on the internet, Googles terrible search algorithm allows my plagiarized articles to come up in searches (right at the top) while my originals are often no where to be found. YET in Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and Bing search my articles come right to the top and the plagiarized articles are no where to be found. GO FIGURE!



Of coarse there is an easy answer; follow the money. These ripped of articles have Google Adwords or other adverts all over them while the originals do not.
Also I have contacted Google about this and although at first they were helpful, they now refuse to stop this (the least they could do is fix their algorithm).

I know many in SEO forums (who have flamed me in SEO forums for EVEN suggesting that the great and all knowing Google God could do this) would state this is not possible as these are two separate entities under the Google trademark, HOWEVER my answer to this is that this is REALLY hiding your head in the sand (which is common in cult like followings whether it be Google, politics, ignoring evil world leaders, or religion).

Google has the knowledge and technology to make this happen. They also know how to make this happen in a subtle way (just like every other deceitful thing they do) so as to not draw attention (& lawsuits) to themselves, which one reason they go after small companies or less known article publishers such as myself. Google is certainly not stupid enough to allow a plagiarized from a CNN writer rise above the original just because it has Adwords content.
The fact that Google uses authority links as part of their algorithm is one proof of this and another as to why their searches often yield crap at least in the Aquatics/fishkeeping research field (if CNN wrote an article about fish walking on land and working at CNN, it would rise above an article written by someone such as myself dispelling this myth).

The article in question is this one dealing with aquarium ich infestations:
target="_blank">http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Aquarium_Ich.html

The plagiarized article here (among many others) is:
http://wazala-blog.blogspot.com/2006/11/aquarium-ich-ichthyophthirius.html
(as of the most recent update, this article is no longer online)

By the way a Yahoo Search on my articles site finds articles and keywords (out of over 300 pages) vastly better than Google, which often brings up spam site.
Try searching “aquarium information” or worse "Planaria in Aquarium".
Reference: http://www.fish-as-pets.com/2007/11/planaria-detritus-internet-answers.html

So much for Google.

In fact as far as the keyword search “Aquarium Information”, I wrote a companion site with VERY different spammy methods and content at the same time as my more serious aquarium information resource site, and guess which one does better on Google, yep the spammy one, while the spammy one is not to be found on Yahoo or MSN.
Here is my "Serious" Aquarium Information web site:
http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Aquarium_Information.html

Other poor Google search results include:
"Aquarium Lighting",
Reference: http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Aquarium_Lighting.html

"UV Bulbs"
Reference: http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/UVCReplacementLamp.html

With Googles nightmare Penguin/Panda Update, purely "cut & paste" SPAM sites such as "onedersave.com/blog" often come up to the top of search results!
This site has no real SEO, no authority inbound links, yet is top in search results for terms such as "Planaria in Aquarium".


By the way, this is not to say Google does not put out good products, they do (I am using Blogger here, in part because I have had this Blogger account way to long to go start over somewhere else) it is more that Google is not whom they pretend to be.
Sort of like a person whom I worked with previously that was very smart person, just his business skills were not what he convinced others around they were (he was an awesome engineer). People need to understand that image and marketing are also strengths of Google as well, which is where perception comes in (again just like the person I referenced above in my other blog about the “worst job”)

In fact one other lie of Googles is what they tell Webmasters about back links: I have found that some of my highest rated back links on Yahoo and MSN are the very relevant content ones while Google (that claims to put much emphasis on content) gives my highest relevance to a few (high PR mind you) tech in bound links not to my more relevant links.
Of coarse this goes hand in hand with how stolen articles of mine can show in a Google search while mu copyrighted content do not (and BTW, this is not to say I do not have search terms that do well in Google, I have many that I am in the top 5 or number even #1).


Based on this love of Google and its corruption and what I and my family have been through, this is no surprise as we live in a very morally bankrupt world and I really fear for my children’s future.
My wife, daughter and family were already harmed while persons with the power to help looked the other way! And untruths about me continue to circulate about me while others with the power to stop this look the other way as they are not willing to look for the truth in these rumors, so our family is subjected to poverty because of this.

Google Adsense Dishonesty, corruption in Adwords content

For a newer more relevant post in this subject, please see this article/blog post:
Google Dishonesty, Plagiarism, with Adsense, Adwords, & More

I have never seen good results with our Adwords content ads and as I have investigated and searched the Google network I know why, the content they (Google) placed these ads on is very poor.
I have found ads for Shell wind Chimes on blogs with nothing more than some alluding to wind in their blog. But the worst part is quality sites such as my own (I know this from VERY positive feedback) are turned down for Adsense ads.

My website has a lot of content, good PR and has been around a while. Apparently Google figures there is a better chance of clicks on these sites as frustrated readers are looking for more than someone’s life editorial, which is why my 'clicks' are high but conversions are almost nil.

This is business corruption at its worst and quite frankly if it were not for the fact that Google is the 800 lb. Gorilla where by I must be present with adwords to be noticed in searches.
I would not advertise here at all, and at that I try and keep my advertising budget to the bare minimums with Google based on Google' business practices and place more ads elsewhere where there are more business morals in place.

But then I have also had to face the fact that my Adwords search ads do have better exposure. I also should note that even where my organic listing are high such as with my Aquarium Lighting Information, UV Bulbs, or Aquarium Silicone page, the Adwords listing also tends to boost my conversion there too. Reference Links:
*http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Aquarium_Lighting.html
*http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/UVCReplacementLamp.html
*http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/AquariumSilicone.html

What bothers me too, is that with so much corruption in business (and other aspects of life, from Religion to Government), is that nobody gives a #@1# about Google's business moral, or lack there of.
In another blog I commented about the fact that Google has gone to one extreme of business management (as many business treat there employees like dirt), they tend to treat their employees as royalty to a point that they look down on anyone who questions anything about the "great and mighty Google" when I have tried to fix things from Google Adwords, to Blogger, to Google CheckOut, to the most corrupt bunch at Google; ADSENSE.

By the way I think the ideas behind many of the before mentioned Google products are good, especially Blogger and Google CheckOut, it is just how Google handles them and treats customers.

In this comment I made, someone came to the defense of Adsense claiming how many little people have made a living or at least part time revenue from Adsense.

My answer; so what!!
What about businesses such as mine that have been ripped off in the content network and also have had Adsense accounts taken from them (including pending earnings) after Adsense disabled their account when someone got bored somewhere and decided to go on a clicking frenzy?

Google has the technology to detect these fraudulent clicks computer addresses and remove them and needs not do the heavy handed disabling of a legitimate business, which of course Google Profits from.
I guarantee you if someone went crazy and started clicking a high PR pet site of Googles such as http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/, Google would NEVER disable this account (which I can bet delivers a lot of revenue to Google Adsense).

Also I have had many of my Aquarium research articles ripped off by others only to display Google Adwords and these plagiarized articles ONLY place high in Google Search, not MSN or Yahoo (go figure, huh) which spot these rip offs much better than Google.

I could go on more about the many lies as to link relevance an other aspects of Googles search engine which are all directed at maximizing profit at ALL costs, no matter how dishonest the results.
I will someday post more about this subject.

This post was found at this blog: "Aaron Swartz; sociologist in exile". His blog "Raw Thought" has some interesting reading and comments, not many I agree with but they are worth while to see other points of view.

The post I found eye opening was "The Google Life": how Google keeps employees by treating them like kids"
