Do you think that Google is being more strict for its publisher day by day?
Every day google bans accounts and de index sites and many times for no reason. Will it effect Google in future if its competitor come in market?
Yes google is being more and more strict. If at all competitors come then surely google will have a setback - but just small. Since google is strict many advertisers prefer google - this ensures they pay only for genuine clicks.
Delisting sites is done on all search engines. If your site is good you need not worry
In the long run, this is better for everyone (readers, good writers).
Not included in "everyone" are the article spinners and poor writers simply clogging up the internet with their poor attempts to make money.
If this so called "competitor" advertises a search engine for Google's unwanted scraps, then I would say hooray for taking niche marketing to the extreme.
No. But, I do think they are sinking to petty larceny and fraud to keep their profits up as the economy sinks like the Titanic. While all of these accounts are being arbitrarily disabled and earnings are being stolen, they are reporting earnings up 33% in the 3rd quarter!
See: http://investor.google.com/earnings/201 … nings.html
Theft and fraud are very profitable in the U.S. these days!
If you have been a victim, go to the Better Business Bureau web site and file a complaint form. The BBB has received a lot of complaints about them. They are not recommended as a safe company to do business with.
I think it is very difficult to keep everyone happy like they were able to do in the past. Many years ago it was very easy to make websites popular because there weren't so many people trying to do it. Now that millions upon millions are coming onto the scene it will be impossible for Google to keep everyone happy. They won't be able to give enough money to everyone through their incentives. It is all about money and nothing else. Once there is not enough money for everyone then things start to crumble. People are not really faithful to Google but to people who give them the most amount of money.
No. I think they are simply prioritizing main stream media content (MSN, ABC, Fox, NBC, Demand Media) over other sources.

I have an idea for Hubpages to look into and implement if does not involve complications. More and more adsense publisher accounts are being disabled and top hubbers are being targetted. HP may come out of it unaffected if it considers to place its own publisher ID for 100% impressions for...

A bit of background first...I joined HP almost two years ago, did a bit of writing and then stopped for a long time. Then went back and got into the apprenticeship program. My hits, on average per day, were a total of 100. I know how much I'd earn from HP per day from that to hit...

Having been with Hubpages for getting on two years now, and having penned 83 Hubs, I think it's time I threw the towel in. Over that time, I conscientiously stuck to all the rules and guidelines, and was rewarded by views gradually rising to around 350 per day with earnings around $25 per month. I...

So, long story short I was chosen to be a part of the beta for the new HubPages ad program (for reasons beyond my ken) and really want to let everyone know there is nothing to worry about. We're free to talk about it today, and I want everyone here to fully understand what a boon it has been to...
