[...] Wie wichtig AdSense für manche Unternehmen sein kann, sieht man am aktuellen Fall von IncrediMail. Der Webmaster Blog berichtet, dass Google IncrediMail aus dem AdWords Programm genommen hat. Daraufhin ist der Aktienkurs von IncrediMail um ca. 45 Prozent in den Abgrund gerasselt. [...]

I have used incredimail for over 3 years and never had one problem.
I don’t use the icons unless it’s for a special reason and only to
special people. I have never understood some of the complaints people
have said about they can’t do this or that with their mail. It is so simple on
incredimail. Sorry to hear this has happened.

Good to see google keeping an eye on fraudulent activity involving its adsense framework.Incredimail is an annoying email service with lot of spyware and it seems Incredimail got booted because of its greed and there by its stupid actions not limited to inserting adsend code using its own application rather than let the google adsense program do that.

That is a clear abuse of the adsense model and shows the desire for quick money from Incredimal’s side.

I think monitoring such fraudulent activity by itself is going to be a huge business.

Here we go. Google is turning into the new Microsoft. So many companies are depending on Google for their survival that Google has the power to inflict severe damage onto them quite easily simply by removing them from search results, disabling their adsense account or disabling their GoogleMaps API key.

Really there’s not much anyone can do about it since Google isn’t going after the firms its killing. Those firms really come to Google willfully.

Click fraud can be a big problem when you have a microcap public company that relies on Adsense for most of their revenues. The company insiders and employees can be totally honest but some fraudulent shareholders (or short-sellers) can get the whole thing shut down.

And how about this: if there was a company that for some reason you didn’t like (a competitor?), and they relied on Adsense for their revenues, you could hire a click-farm to hit the ads on their site, get them busted for fraud and shut them down. And they would have no way to defend themselves!?

I have to think that CPC won’t be with us for much longer.

The incredimail service is an application that slaps smiley faces in your email. Besides being annoying it probably never received approval for bundling the Google products with its app and it probably was inserting Google code (read ads) via its app which is a no-no. “No AdSense code may be integrated into a software application.”

Adsense TOS is pretty clear on this stuff.

ouch. they lost 40% of their value just because Google dropped them. I guess people can’t live without Google anymore.. scary in a way.

Cool Info I think Google has proper filters in place to recognise true web sites and pays more CPC to those which are regular sites than just ad based.

Mamo: The ‘large scale revolt’ will come from Google, it will just take more time (maybe late 2008-09) as most of the influential tech voices are still in their “honeymoon’ phase with Google and have yet to wake up to their rather evil habits related to the advertising business.

Watching 60 minutes last night made me realize why people idolize Google like they do … starry-eyed reporters used to do fluff pieces like that for Sergy, Larry and the GOOG.

A couple of years ago I had a startup that was making a few thousand dollars a month from the Adsense program. All of a sudden Google disabled the program without any explanation. To this day they refuse to explain their reason except to say I did something against their rules. I had no chance to defend myself as I didn’t know what I am accused of doing. Needless to say the business soon went under, as I had no alternative to Adsense. I am still amazed there is no large scale revolt against Google’s heavy handed approach, as well as by the lack of alternative to Adsense.

That is the problem, we do not have the answers. Noone finds fault with google for removing an adsense account.

The problem is that we do not know why they were removed. That gives rise to the fear that will I be the next. Just imagine if you were planning to leave your day job to work on your website and your website earns only from adsense. This definitely makes you nervous.

IMHO Google should let the world know why they removed that particular publisher. Then I can check if I am violating any of those terms. Then I can have a good night’s sleep.

End of the day I think that we should not forget that it is adsense that made lot of these web 2.0 companies possible. That way google has done lot of good and I am confident that google will have a really good reason for removing one of the largest publishers from the network.

Here is a clue as to why Google might have terminated the adsense with Incredimail:

Weiss does not think the company is clear on why Google made its decision, but said it “speculated that it may center around their opt-in policies relating to the way that IncrediMail is bringing in searches.”

This is a perfect exhample as to why one company can have to much power,Google just put a lot of people out of business.

If this had been Microsoft or Yahoo the internet would be up in arms, Google needs to reply.
