If you don’t know then , here is one secret about Search Engine .They are the most accurate tool to check time. You can get current time of almost any place on search engines. Normally a search in the format of ” time + in + city or country” returns back the current time of the place as the top result on search engines. Below is the format of how they look on major search engines:

Here is an example of Time on Ask.com

One thing that really annoys me is web page full of Adsense ads. They were good at beginning but now even a good site with Adsense seems unprofessional only because of those ads. One more thing that really makes me red is the click arbitrage. This is one thing that has come up in recent years and is really making the normal users life a hell. This is not a huge problem though and most PPC service providers can tackle it but
With amount of money involved in it they really don’t want to stop it as of yet.

Here is one example of Adword Arbitrage

http://pennsylvania.state–government.com/

This Adword advertiser has built up a site that only shows up ads which you find on Google’s page when searching for “Philadelphia historical real estate records” (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=philidephia+historical+real+estate+records). There is no unique content or any other link or images that make this site look a bit legitimate. A normal user is always going to get fooled when he sees this site as it has been nicely designed and ads are well placed to trick the user. There is no reason why Google is still giving such sites permission to show their ads. They can absolutely stop it but the money they are making out of it might be stopping them from doing this. It seems like Google is only trying to make some extra bucks on pile of billions by sacrificing user experience.

This shit can be stopped, but HOW? Google has got an army of programmers and engineers; they can just make an algorithm that checks the entire web with sites having only Google Adsense and ban them. It simply doesn’t make any sense of having one page on a site with lots of Adsense ads on it. The arbitrage army may go round this algorithm but there are many ways one can track them.

If this arbitrage issue doesn’t ends up here then this will rip of many genuine advertisers and send a bad experience to Google’s user. But it seems that Google and other PPC providers only wants to make money and doesn’t care about what their users feel. They might be thinking to pull out all the money from advertisers and have them pay for more bid prices and in result ruin their whole business by not stopping click arbitrage.

I can only say one think to Google. Please stop this shit right now or else you might face some very harsh issues in future. This might take some brave steps and hard turns but one has to deal with it and its Google’s responsibility to take the initiative and others will follow.

One thing the marketers today are doing is targeting the specific user or the consumer groups.
