Google’s “Dear John” Letter (Click for much more legable copy)

After running my blog for over five years, and supporting the fees of my open sourced software through AdSense since 2003, they’ve killed my account with no rhyme or reason.

I asked for clarification, and was told “Our system is proprietary, we’re not going to tell you as it would tell you too much how our software works.” No shit.

I appealed by stating my case, that I have used AdSense for years, and I’ve never had an issue. However, two weeks from PayOut (which only took two fucking years with my amazing $0.08 AdSense clickthrough rate), they terminate me.

Appealed for further information, and, as you see above, got none, but they think I’m a low down nasty baddy-badbad who’s trying to steal their wonderful bounty of $0.08/click. Like I can live on that.

Well, Google, fine. AdEngage and AdBrite pay much better, and don’t treat their resources this way.
