Help kill the Google search monopoly..

yay lets join the bing, after all they own the biggest pirate adult tube while google owns biggest mainstream pirate tube.

Bing is awesome.

That being said? This thread is fucking retarded

rewards isn't available in my country (UK)

Just think though if all adult webmasters changed their warning exit page to a different search engine to google - would it make those fuckers sit up and take notice?

Microsoft owns a porn tube?

You still don't get it.

I guess that's why you sit where you sit (on the bottom), and I sit where I sit (in the penthouse).

The stupidity is strong.

Let me google Bing to see what it is...

Hold on a sec...

If Microsoft had their way you would have to run an MS powered site to get listed and getting in the top 10 would run $1000 per month. Out of the frying pan and into the fire....

If you really want things to change then check this out and support it.

Oh the irony. Google is also killing mainstream websites and it's all because of the spam.
100% legit old and quality site is losing rank to dozen of hacked sites that are stuffed with fake content that redirect users to other sites.

Train kept A Rolling

I try to mention this incredible situation to people ,
and all you get is a shrug .
if your not running a site you just don't care.
Its pretty bad when the biggest pushback at the antitrust hearings last year was from chuck grassley of iowa.
I think they had trouble getting witnesses they were scared to testify [although yelp did]
With a 90% search share I think its a little late to do anything to stop them other than a "baby bell" style forced divestiture which isn't likely

Google's paid clicks keep surging; ad prices remain under pressure

Google's (GOOG) paid click growth, boosted by mobile searches and product listing ads (PLAs), continued to accelerate in Q4. Paid clicks rose 31% Y/Y after growing 26% in Q3 and 23% in Q2.
At the same time, mobile continues taking a toll on ad prices: cost per click fell 2% Q/Q and 11% Y/Y after dropping 8% Y/Y in Q3 and 6% in Q2.
Google Sites revenue (67% of revenue exc. Motorola) rose 22% Y/Y, the same as Q3. Ad network revenue (23% of total), pressured lately by policy changes meant to improve the user experience, rose 3% vs. 1% in Q3. Other Google revenue (10% of total - Nexus, search appliances) rose 99% vs. 85%.

Google ended Q4 with $58.7B in cash/investments (much of it offshore), and $5.5B in
debt.

Nothing much is coming from antitrust action except in europe.and its pretty small ball penalties that they probably laugh about in board meeting

Google reportedly close to settling EU probe
Reuters reports Google (GOOG -0.7%) is close to settling the EU's long-running antitrust probe after delivering "much better" concessions related to the displaying of links to rival services within search results. A senior EU official tells Reuters a decision "is expected in the next few days or in a couple of weeks at the latest."
It was only two weeks ago that EU antitrust chief Joaquin Almunia said he wasn't happy with Google's proposed remedies, which follow allegations from dozens of rivals that the Web giant is favoring its own services within search results, and is making it difficult to export search ad campaign data. Google settled a similar dispute with the FTC a year ago.
Google's latest offer reportedly would reportedly allow rivals' logos and links to appear "in a prominent box," and give content providers control over what material is shown within results.
Separately, the court handling IP owner Vringo's infringement suit against Google has ordered Google to pay a 6.5% royalty rate on 20.9% of its AdWords search ad revenue (amounts to a 1.36% total royalty rate). Google will almost certainly appeal the decision.

Tho,while bing indeed is currently only alternative to google,i dont realy feel good by supporting microsoft,when i remember how bad they run their bussiness.

Bing isn't the only alternative. What about https://duckduckgo.com/ or http://www.ecosia.org/

Should be sending to a non-adult offer not throwing it away at Google.

Duckduckgo is a bad joke,ecosia looks intresting,tho it seems they take results from bing.Yes,it is just metasearch engine.

Bing is pretty great for search results.

The only thing I hate is their full screen photos on the search home page. Just make it white background FFS.

I agree but my point was that if every adult webmaster suddenly started supporting a rival SE it would shoot up in popularity just like firefox did when websites started promoting it.
Of cause, it would never work - adult webmasters agreeing on something and working together? Nah!

Why would anyone point exit to google? I know back in the day it was a myth that this way you would get some love from google. Is it still active?

google have something similar, but pays less...

Not gonna happen, it must be convenient to search. Installing software if you want to use search, it won't pick up.....

Why pay for porn with Bing?

Never understood why so many did this.

Lots do, still do. have a look, in fact its rare to find ones that DON'T link to google.

nice spam

There are hundreds of portals where you need install no software.. Anyone who runs the client is free to set up their own custom portal. For example: http://search.yacy.net/

You can customize what factors matter most for each portal you set up. What holds it back is a lack of clients and some development. But something liek this has the potential to kill the centralized search engine and render it obsolete.

If the shoe fits.....

Lets face it, most affiliates are worthless these days. Plastering the same shit everywhere. Personally, I'm VERY happy that Google is penalizing this.

Here's an idea....Become a REAL webmaster who creates your own unique content to supplement what the affiliate programs give you. I know this is far fetched as it requires actual work instead of just copy and paste.

Google should have made this move years ago.

please teach me, i am all ears. i dont get much traffic from bing not even 2% ,

Agree.

If you have great websites there's no need to rely on google. Google just brings free traffic.
I see that the most affected webmasters are the ones with crappy websites(blogs made from rss feeds with some low quality thumbs and full of outbound links, skimmed traffic, popunders, plugs, mostly ads webpages, fake video thumbs, etc.)

I like the changes that google adopted and if you build some clean websites with content, and few but well blended ads you will like the changes too. Since the affiliates are promoting content they should create quality websites to make the user happy. A Happy user will buy, a user that is annoyed by the popunders and fake thumbs will close the page.
Anyway, most webmasters will continue to build same crappy websites just to cookie stuff and will continue to bitch about google.
Since the last summer my traffic from google increased, and the conversion increased even if I don't use any popunders or deceptive tactics like fake thumbs. The user wants content and clean sites and I respect the user.
