Quality ads, are you kidding?
It seems that Google has climbed in bed with Scientology.
First with their AdSense promoting Scientology advertisements all over the web, which has angered many people all over the Internet, and secondly it seems that their You Tube system is very vulnerable and mismanaged. People are able to flag videos that have not violated the Terms of Service agreement and accounts are suspended without prior scrutiny or notification to the account holder. The most recent demonstration of this is now making its way around the Internet. The accounts of two very prominent critics of Scientology were closed due to this glitch in their system. This has angered many Free Speech advocates across the globe. There are far more people opposed to this type of censorship than there are Scientology members.
Although as of this Friday 4/18/08 Google is enjoying a much needed glimmer of hope on the market, I predict the backlash to Google’s shortsightedness and inadequacies could be devastating to their stocks on the volatile market.
Payout Percentages Per Domain/Site
Yes, although they are paying out more to partners, partners are getting less.
What I mean is that we are creating more ad space with new sites, more acquired domains for domain parking, etc.... but Google is paying out "less per property" space - since there is a flood of new space.
The quality of the traffic from much of this new space is a mix of both crappy and great, delivered from both sites and domains. But there is no doubt that Google is taking more even more percentage-wise from everyone even though they are paying out more.
On the domain forums and site forums everyone has been screaming about lower payouts. I myself am making EXACTLY what I was at this time last year after delivering much, much more traffic through strategic domain purchases.
This is helping fuel a big percentage of the bottom line and these great numbers Google is reporting.
