Google toolbar rank

[Taffy]

Well, I just noticed that TheHavenNet.org.uk gets an importance rank from google of: 0/10 Why? Why?

Google doesn't like haven. And haven detests google with a vengenace. (and quite rightly, too )

Okay, maybe I'm overdramatising that a wee bit. But even so, there's one reason.

Haven > Google > Your God and/or wife.

Therefore, Google and your God/Wife hates Haven!!!

It was a curious incident involving Google AdSense, THN and a lot of clicking. I forget the details now, but Google apparently haven't liked THN ever since, and similarily we don't like them either.

It is showing a rank of 4/10 for me. Fortunately HavenHosting gets 5/10
*pulls faces at THN *

And yeah google suxxors but we have to live with them as they are here to stay.

So why does the comedy site use google to search the site??? I'm a wee bit confused now.

 

[DeZmond]

It's a feature of the software we're using, and I can't be arsed removing it.

Incidentally, searching with google is merely an option - the site has it's own search function for each coherent section of the site.

That was a interesting wee story Haven.

Bad Google!

I'm curious as to who the uber clicker was... What a mystery .

 

[Taffy]

The person who it was freely admitted it was him but I'll leave it up to him to post up again.

 

[Haven]

Its really not the point - whats the point is that google have behaved like asshats over something that was beyond my power to prevent and without leaving me any recourse (its a very different story for owners of more popular sites so definately not one rule for all).

Remember children! Whenever you see google ads, click all of them as many times and as fast as you can!

Oooh now who could have predicted that happening ...
*adjusts his time machine goggles and moves along*

Its somewhat nice to see the big boys getting shafted just as much as I was.

Ben Cohen for Bittorrent we salute you ! Oh damn that was Bram Cohen ... oh welll *grins*.

p.s. you'll have to read this whole damn thread to see what I'm on about

 

[Fuzzy Bunny]

So... it would work...

[Haven]

indeed it would - now remove those bad thoughts from your head ... or point them at someone you really dont like

So I was thinking: what if I set up a bot (or botnet if I had one of those laying around ) that surfed around spamming the fuck out of google ads on every site it could find running them? Surely they can't go and shut down every site? Surely someone has tried this already?
