And the Google scrub is complete
Down the memory hole. That’ll teach me to sell subdomains. Of course, that paid more than one year of Google ads.

So, they just don’t like you or they think you are a link farm?
June 2nd, 2006 at 1:31 pm
I’d guess both 😉
I sold subdomains (links on the right) and that guy set up link farms.

so they ban you entirely?
heh, what else is out there that Google has deemed not worthy?

Dogpile lists you
June 2nd, 2006 at 2:29 pm
Yeah. Yet they seem cool with snagging my pics for their image search crap.
June 2nd, 2006 at 3:02 pm
ah, the few things that slip throught the filter. I’ve never clicked on them before.
nevermind if this is prying, but did you sell-sell or did you lease-sell? I mean, you may own the domain, but in reality you really lease it with first rights of renewal. You don’t really one the name.
any plans for theothersideofuncle.com?
June 2nd, 2006 at 3:04 pm
Heh. No plans for that. I took money to give them 5 domains for 3 months. Should be done next month and back to normal. Unless they offer me $1,500 for it again. Heck, that’s a couple of ARs!

You got $1500 for running a couple of ads????????
Damn! I was thrilled out of making $75 bucks total
June 2nd, 2006 at 3:43 pm
Glad to see is was only a lease. But someone’s probably gonna snag theothersideofuncle.com now anyway though. Heh, let them.
$300 per subdomain, that’s pretty good, but then you have a bit of traffic and you work hard to keep it filled with content.
I’ve heard a lot of bad things about you-know-who’s ads, (click fraud, etc..) and really, there’s no way you can trust them, yet still verify.

If you don’t want Google grabbing your pics put a robots.txt file in your home directory. The Google bot will then not grab your pictures.
For example, to exclude Google bot completely:
User-Agent: Googlebot
Disallow:/
If you just want to stop them sucking down your images, but want them to suck down html, this should work:
User-Agent: Google-Image
Disallow:/
Enjoy!

How’s that e-mail replacement search going?
June 2nd, 2006 at 10:09 pm
Thanks, anon.
Jon, haven’t even looked yet.

Perhaps you can put out a call for people’s opinions?
I’d get off Yahoo! as it is slow and clunky, but no way in hell will I go to Google’s gmail.
It’s a curious thing.
Although I’ve read that Yahoo! is doing an upgrade on their mail system.

They scrubbed me about a month ago, too, for the same reason. Bastards.

[…] I’ve noticed that Yahoo!’s search results often get me to what I’m looking for faster than Google’s. Moreover, while Google has forsaken Say Uncle, Yahoo!’s search engine has not. […]
