Aren't You Sick of those Keyword Adsense Marketers

I must say I have grown rather tired of the pathetic internet marketers who slap up worthless sites purely for the purpose of vending adsense and similar advertisements. Have you had enough too?

They use either websites or, very commonly now because it costs them nothng, free blogs. Blogger blogs are certainly targeted. I guess Google doesn't mind because, after all, they are serving Google's advertisements. In a sense therefore, since Google owns Blogger, it is aiding and abbeting the scoundrels and collecting the revenue.

It may be that these crazed marketers, or would-be marketers because I think one needs to actually be successful to claim the label, don't actually make more than a few dollars or even mere cents every month for their efforts. But for the big G, when you multiply those few dollars by the number of mug punters giving it a go, I'm sure it amounts to quite a tidy sum.

The prospects for seeing a reduction in this web pollution are therefore not too good I would venture to suggest. Damned shame that. I have really had quite enough of the worthless webspace cluttering up the search engine results.

Perhaps Google has become a Goliath. There may be several Davids honing their skills with small, themed, search engines who are able to generate revenue sufficient to be successful and who will win out over Google and the other big search providers by keeping their act clean.

I would much rather use a search engine that returned relevant results and wasn't cluttered with so much rubbish. Then I simply wouldn't have to land on those junk sites. This could save quite a bit of time and frustration.

Now if I stop using Google, no big deal. But if lots of people who are equally fed up stop using Google, that's quite a different story. The same applies to all of the search engines. They need plenty of us, just as we seem to need plenty of them.

Hmmm, maybe that's why Google is seriously diversifying. It no longer is totally dependent on search based income.
