Obnoxious and Misleading Adsense Ads

I’ve been seeing some obnoxious Adsense ads here lately. Apparently, some company can guarantee a “Page 1 Ranking” for $49.95. No charge until you are on Page 1. Of course, I can guess that what is meant is that they will charge you $49.95 to set up an Adwords campaign where you bid until you have a page 1 ad.

Obnoxious Ad

However, this is not the same thing as a page 1 ranking. The word “ranking” indicates organic listings, not advertisement placement. I find this ad misleading, disgusting and obnoxious.

Luckily, no visitors to IHateGoogle.org ever click on the Adsense ads, so the point is actually moot.

Googlehater Alert!

I was trolling today and came up with another Google hater. You have to check out GoogleSearchSucks.com.

I have a few comments about this blog:

  1. I like the drawings. Is that Larry and Sergey or Beavis and Butt-Head behind Jerry Yang?
  2. He’s still got Ron Paul ads on the site. Now that’s persistence!
  3. The disclaimer is awesome!
  4. GoogleSearchSucks.com hates Google because the SERPs are full of spam and advertisements, not because they don’t have the ranking they deserve. That actually seems novel.

GoogleSearchSucks.com seems to be searching for its online identity. You can check it out and post your comments as to what direction you think the site should take.
