I feel the same way too, but I have to ask myself, why do I deserve a search engine to automatically index my content and then show it to others without my having to give anything in return? Let's say I actually wrote something of value, put an ad next to it, and it generated a hundred thousand organic search views. Those 100k views were basically given to me for free by a search engine. Do I owe them anything for that?
- undrcvr95 3y agoNo of course you don't owe them anything. They opted in to doing this and didn't even consult you before doing so. They did this because they have found a way to monetize this, which is selling their own ads. On the other hand you just posted a blog post. You didn't opt in to anything related to search engines. You just posted something, that's it.
- troyvit 3y agoYeah that's a good point. I didn't make a contract with them.
