It's common knowledge among SEOs that AdSense tends to be disabled a few days before the supposed payout. I haven't lost any big sum - only $2000 but I know one person that lost $40,000. It was all legitimate traffic coming straig

The best thing is they punish you for "ads above the fold" and actively de-index "scraper websites". Matt Cutts preaches how bad it is constantly. Ironically, what Google could be summed up as is a scraper website absolu

SVM is great, it's often stacked on top of neural networks to do classification. But it can't really deal with extracting features, especially from things like images and sounds. If you fed images ( pixel by pixel ) straight to th

There's a whole industry in Eeastern Europe that does just this and resells the link-space. It's nothing new but don't be surprised when your whole domain gets deindexed.

Google seems less and less connected to reality the bigger they grow. It's a shame that the search engine market share isn't split evenly by several different engines. I think it would be beneficent both to the users and website o

SSD drive saved my life when I had to query a 300 GB MySQL table that couldn't fit in my RAM. Since the data was organized by the primary key ( which was random in the SELECT queries), both reads and writes had to come from random plac

Here comes Google, the Internet police! Do as they want or say goodbye to 80% of search traffic.

People tend to click first links with way higher frequency than those located below. Additionally, when a beginner sees this page, he sees two versions - of which one is 3 and one is 2 - I think most of people will choose the "newer&qu

It's also really off putting for beginners that try to learn the language. Python 3 is being served as the main download when you search for it. And while you search for tutorials, most of them are in python 2 - and 80% of them DO NOT

It's like comparing invention of a new hemorrhoids drug to the discovery of DNA. One has niche uses and the other creates new industries and revolutionizes science. It's hardly the same.

I am tired of Google behaving like they are untouchable/above others. Follow the rules everyone follows, you aren't above the law and certainly do not deserve to be treated as a special entity. Pay your taxes, respect privacy and

I guess since Google got a court verdict stating that their search results are their "opinion" and thus "free speech", they cannot be really attacked from this point. Add to that the fact that their algorithm is top-secr

I guess the June search-algorithm updates really worked. (Kicking out everyone that earns without giving Google it's piece of the pie). Google keeps removing small business websites from its results, forcing them to use Ad-Words. This

This is wrong thinking. Those loopholes are there because Google pays(lobbies) for them to be there. As far as I know, they've paid more in lobbying last year than Microsoft, Apple and Facebook combined. Those loopholes will never be c

I've used chrome because it was faster than Firefox ( and didn't crash so often ). I've switched to Firefox a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. It seems that all the stability issues were resolved. I urge everyone t

The problem with search is that nowadays, people judge results quality by their similarity to Google results. So anything that doesn't look like Google output looks "off".

Yes, Because large companies(with nice Ad-Words budgets) are treated extremely nice both by the Ad-Words folks and the organic search algorithm folks. They are being favorized at the cost of small businesses that spend too little or nothing

What people are upset is that Google siphons majority of commercial web-traffic and denies anyone else access. This kills small companies.

Google is a saint, don't you know? They are one of the biggest corporations, spy on you on every possible occasion, fuck over thousands of small businesses, extract every bit of wealth out of e-commerce ecosystem, but they are saints!

A classic psychopathic behaviour. Blind your victim with carefully spun web of lies. Distort the reality and then when the time comes, abuse them. Psychopaths are so good at lying that they self-deceive themselves. They believe their own li

I am waiting for Facebook to start their own AdSense alternative. There is a lot of money there.

It's always amazing to hear senile (but still sharp) people talk. 97 years of existence must teach a lot about life and what is really important. I wonder what could be achieved in one particular field of expertise if you devoted all t

Contrary to what they say about themselves, they can't really innovate. Search is what makes them. Can you imagine Google without it? They'd be nothing. All their existing products are copycat/published with the search levera

Yeah as long as they collect personal data, we can't trust them. Government can always demand it from them. If not by PRISM then with something else.

Does it always has to be the same in all cases? The results of technology advancement are various and complicated. It's not all white and black.

Yep, no matter how much PR bullshit they spew out, no one resonable is going to trust them with sensitive data.

There are many Googlers here, you know :) You either talk about G positively or not at all. The glass is the most Orwellian thing I've ever heard of. The only thing that could beat it would be direct brain interfaces, capable of steali

This "blog" has one post and was specifically started to bash DDG. I don't use the duck (yet?) but to me it looks like an attempt at black PR. Even if the duck doesn't give full anonymity, I would still prefer it to Goog
