Is Google Stealing Our Money?

6 May

Yeah so is Google stealing our money? I mean from AdWords and AdSense. I think they are. I have a reasonable explanation. Google doesn’t look like the kind of company that would do that, but its shocking that they are actually doing this.

AdSense has a very strict TOS and because of that thousands of sites get kicked and even banned from the program. But wait. Ask someone who used AdSense and got kicked. Google doesn’t kick you out right away. They do that when you’ve made a bit of money (around $15-70).

Yeah that’s weird, isn’t it? But wait a second. What happens to your money? The few dollars you made in the last couple of days. Oh they keep it unless the advertisers complain and then they investigate it. But they still don’t give a clear, detailed report about it.

I would say that about 2500 AdSense accounts get terminated around the world every day. And lets say that each account has an average of $20. Now do the math.

Of course my estimates are not accurate. There are probably more than 2500 accounts getting closed everyday. Plus why do we pay Google so much when we want to advertise and the publishers get about a few cents to few dollars per click? Do you know if Google is paying us 50/50 or 70/30?

Well its just people being greedy. Nothing new.
