Awesome Ad. I love it
hahahaI think everyone is getting scroogled to a certain extent lol I guess if Google aren’t screwing you, then Microsoft will, or Facebook (in the near future) :tongue:
that ad made the news.
I’m not only getting Scroogled but being scroogled BIG time.
What gets me, the sites which Google claims were targeted in their alog changes, to clean-up their index, have in fact been rewarded. Where as sites who stick to the rules have been penalised.
One site which is a glorified doorway page, with only one page, holds numberous spot 1 positions within my targeted phrases, including online pokies. Taking a quick look at their backlinks shows nothing but blog spam, guestbook entries and FFA link sites. Yet this site is number 1 in Google.
Give me a F’ing break, what a sham!
If it wasn’t for the 1000’s of long tails my sites have acquired over the years, or the healthy player bases I have at my major casinos, I’d be in dire straits about now.
Cheers
Dave
And this is from Microsoft who are deliberatly attempting to crush the small time affiliate by introducing a cookie blocking feature which is turned on automatically in I.E 10.. meaning most people will not know it’s turned on and so no-one will get comissions from anything.. Yeah nice microsoft.. dunno about scroogled.. But I would definitly say were all going to be bingoed

The phrase, “better the devil you know”, comes to mind here.
This ad while it’s very well designed and thought out, its payload is obvious. However if Microsofts drive is to challenge Google, and it actually wins, what next, another monopoly?

its actually a do not track (dnt) flag bit sent as part of the header. It’s either a binary 1 or 0 or null never changed.
so the program or website would have to specifically read the flag bit from the header stream and then decide based on the state of the flag whether or not to write the cookie.
In other words, just checking the box in IE won’t stop the cookie from being written as a feature of the browser, it merely indicates the flag status.
Many shopping carts use cookies to keep track of purchases, carts would be rendered useless overnight if the browser blocked the cookie data from being written based on the dnt setting.

Big link buyers, “links schemers”, extremely interlinked networks, keywords stuffers…
Spots #1, #3, #4, #6… for big money keywords. :rasta:
You’re note alone, Dave. I’m with you… nowhere to be found! :drunk2:
Dave (me too).
At first I thought you were hitting on me as Scroogled sounds dirty…This was new to me so thanks for the post. Yeah Google literally did the opposite of what they said, but I don’t,t have 1,000s of anything including long tail keywords.
Didn’t / doesn’t bing utilize Google results to construct their own? IMO it doesn’t matter who the top dog is -they will both screwgle us at some level!

I loved the subject of this post… perfect words… ahahaha
Aside from the damage this can do, I had a chuckle too clara.
I came up with a few lame lines:
- It’s been ages since I’ve has a good scroogling!
- Go and get scroogled!
- Ahhhh zip it, you’ve got a scroogle loose!
If anyone else can add to the list, you know what to do
Cheers

People are asking the same questions over at Google Webmaster Forums. But as per usual, the cocky regulars justify Google’s actions and shoot the messengers instead. Given I’ve lost oddles of traffic since Penguin/Panda, I’m wonder if it’s better to look at ways to rank better in Yahoo and Bing, least try to get some traffic back from other SE’s.
Because trying to get back my serps on Google, is both frustrating and turning into a BIG waste of time, especially as I’m competing against index spammers and their cheating ways.
