            Hopefully this will be the wakeup call that makes them inplement a protective system. We all know they could if they wanted too but they make more money if they don't. That is until now maybe....

                  If traffic brokers can implement these systems, then Google can also.

                      Google closed my account and account of my friend with no particular reason (except that we both are from Serbia and Montenegro) so we lost over $6.000 because of that last year. We tried to mail them but got no reasnoble answer and after 2-3 mails they even didn't respond! And they have no phone support and will not answer my mails.... Why Google, Why?

                      So that's enough good reason for me not to trust them any more...

                              the one thing there's supposely good at, they're screwing up at. it's only march and what to we have so far

                              1. Gov't pissed at google for not giving search info
                              2. Gov't looking into google's business deals with china
                              3. Google loses case regarding copyrighted online images
                              4. Google Click Fraud payout
                              5. Google stock continues to fall.

                              am i missing anything else? ... seems like a company that should focus a little bit better.
