  • @Xezukaful are you suggesting 0.01% of websites have ads on them and 99.9% don't? Where does Google have the authority to say what is ad heavy and what isn't and where ads should or should not be placed...they're a search site...index the god damn website and display it...if someone doesn't like it cause it has too many ads...they'll leave..>WTF<

  • I'm having a VERY hard time understanding Google's right to determine how a website should be laid out and what and where that content should be placed or no placed...Why isn't the rest of the internet up in arms over this like everyone seems to be about #SOPA and #PIPA ? It's almost the same god damn thing!! * figuratively speaking of course*

  • @SiteSell If you looked further into it, you'd see this is a good thing. This doesn't mean anything to 99.9% of sites out there...

  • With Google's unfair promotion of Google+ in their search engine, it's becoming increasingly difficult to trust them. Really sad to see such a great company compromise their morality.
