I’m sure you know I use almost every Google service that’s out there.  I have been using Google Adsense for a year or so on some of my sites, and after all that time I had finally reached the magic $100 mark and was looking forward to my first Google check.   Well,  soon after that I got the email: “Your Adsense account has been disabled”  apparently I pose a significant risk to Google advertisers.  I have no idea how,  and really I don’t care.  I may appeal the action at some point if I have a high traffic site that I need ads for but It seems far too evident that Google does not care about the little sites.

Goodbye Google, Hello Yahoo….    even though that hurts to say.  Maybe I’ll go to Bing.

I have said before that I has put all my faith and trust in google. And that is more true with every passing day…

Unfortunately, Google (more specifically AdSense) is letting me down. I was excited when I registered my newest domain name antisocialentrepreneur.com but I’m not ready to develop it yet, so I figured I would just park it with AdSense for Domains. (in case you don’t know, while parked with AdSense your page will come up with a google search box and some sponsored links etc…) Just like those Godaddy ‘This page is reserved’ sites except I will get some ad revenue (if any) instead of Godaddy hogging it all!! (Yeah, the Daddy is a selfish jerk sometimes)

Turns out that google thinks my domain name does not comply with their policy. I have no idea why they think that, unless someone at google is very bad with their vocabulary and thinks an entrepreneur is something obscene. Or maybe they think “anti-social” is some kind of hate speech… who knows….

Oh well, I guess I will have to put it over at WhyPark. (another domain parking service) for now.

Guess at least one of my eggs (albeit a small one) is not in Google’s basket for now.
