Speaking of Tattle Tales

Apparently Google is making it super easy for you to whistle blow on your brothers and sisters if you don’t agree with their using their site to make money.

Dear Tattler,

Nevermind that some people pay for their domain name/ website and this USED to be a free country where people could make money without being punished for it. Nevermind that people pay WAY more for advertising those stupid commercials you’ll watch during Superbowl. Yeah, those ones that cost enough to feed the lower half of Africa for a month! But you don’t care about that, do you my friendly tattling friend? It’s more important to make sure that little guy doesn’t buy or sell links to build a small business or feed a family. Those little guys are so very, very bad. They deserve to be punished.

Nevermind that there are oil tyrants and political figures using great military forces to do unthinkable injustices IN YOUR NAME & right under your petty little noses to make their money. NO, DON’T WORRY ABOUT THAT! Because you need to focus your attention to the little guy who made $500 last month writing paid posts. Stupid, rediculous pettiness. Go tattle, you bored asswipes! Google WANTS you to!

Sincerely,

Stepherz

I guess I have less of a problem with everyone’s opinions on “buying/selling links” and more of a problem with the whole whistleblower thing. I’ve not tattled on anyone in ages. I like to think my energy could be better used in other ways. There’s always those that get off on that kind of thing.

I LOVE YOU, GOOGLE!

Ok, I feel better now. Stoopid crazy unstable pregnant hormones.

Maybe I haven’t had enough coffee yet. Maybe the baby sucked my last few remaining brain cells out through my right breast during our early morning nursing session. WTF are you talking about? LOL

Lol! I am talking about Google punishing me for doing paid posts by taking my pagerank away which means I make about 1/4 as much money from paid posts as I was making. I just found out that one of Google’s tools to find bad guys like me is by “word of mouth”. I don’t know if someone told on me and that’s why my page rank was taken or if Google just “caught me” (as if I did something wrong) on their own. But either way, I’m po’ed that Google is stopping to encouraging people to tell on each other.

No one will understand that post unless they 1.) are experiencing what I went through or 2.) they are the whistleblower type.

Sorry for talking in codes. I’m really quite tired and nauseated, so I probably don’t make sense to anyone but myself. Maybe I need to shut up, eat some ginger, and take a nap.
