Steemit -An Opportunity as Google uses Adwords to Steal From Content Users

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse Google have done it again they have begun restricting the information supplied by Google Adwords to only those who have a current active campaign with them.
In June, Google AdWords turned off access to the Keyword Planner tool for those who did not have an active AdWords campaign running. However, they later backed away from this, and instead said it was a “technical issue” affecting some accounts. But many saw it as writing on the wall that Google would begin to restrict or throttle information unless there was an active campaign within the account.

So what does this mean? Put quite simply Google want your details including credit card numbers which means they will know even more about you, will be able to advertise more directly and accurately to you and will help establish an uneven playing field where only those who have large amounts of adverts (ie the giant corporate companies) and funding will have access to your data and the data of all the people on Google. They will have an unfair advantage and it will cost the small advertisers who will struggle against the corporate machines even more than they do now.

Its a complete Train Wreck and just like the driver in the video below Steemit gives us the opportunity to jump off that lose/lose system and join the fastest growing social media network model ever.

So make sure you hop off the old model and jump on to the new model that is steemit.

I feel like I am somewhere out in zeta reticuli and as I sleep there are the limbs of a face hugger tightening around my face, it's tail around my neck, and by the time I awaken and realise what's happening, it's too late.

This is google

It really sucks that they are doing this!

Small businesses deserve to grow too! It sucks that so many keyword sites are so expensive. I'm not massive on SEO but I certainly could use a little bit to improve the sales of my business.

When will google stop or slow down on taking our info? we need to stand up against them And of course like you said "by using Steemit"

I really don't follow your line of thinking here.

  • Google restricts AdWord data to active AdWord campaign users, so people can't find the best trending keywords on their search engine for free.
  • Anyone wanting to use the Adwords tool will have to hand over their credit card information.
  • Therefore you should start using a blogging platform.

Huh???
