Here is what I am about with Google.
I had no interest talking Google for 6 years, running my small travel agency business in Thailand, I have a Website that I was slowly building and providing a service to the travel community. One day I went to phpfreaks.com forum to get a Website review and was humiliated and made fun of because the colors of the Website are not agronomic and it looked bad in Opera, because I did not have time to make it cross browser interoperability.
One user accused me of Spamming Google with keyword stuffing, and a few days latter, my Website was deindexed from Google index after being in it for 6 years. Besides getting a tiny salary from my partially owned Thai company I was getting some extra income form Adsense and another affiliate program.
Was I being Black hat, No! I stuffed a bit to get some extra traffic, but it was not an MFA website just a few doorway pages that were a list of city and country destinations with a airfare prices, no redirects nothing like that, just a list!
My company provides jobs for 10 employees and puts food on their tables and their family tables! My company barely surviving and only doing so because of trust and continues patronage of our dear customers who we been serving for 15 years now!
Google turned to be our judge and executioner!
I found Matt’s blog, deleted the three pages, requested a reinclussion request and joined Google Webmaster help Group. A week later my Website was back in the index. I took off Adsense because I have no reason to send my customers to Google for the pence it was earning me, after I removed the extra visitors that were coming to the Website, from the 3 list pages. I also disallowed the affiliate pages, not to leak Google juice.
At GWHG, I felt that, being that I was pardoned, I should give back to the Webmaster community, and volunteered my knowledge to help other Webmasters. I was made fun and ridiculed and was told there is no such thing as SandBox, Google Juice leak, that I should not disallow affiliate pages, there is no duplicate canonicalization penalty!
To the contrary, all these things are now written in GQG. I was mentally ganged rapped by a few regulars to have Adam ban me from the group!
I since, made peace with the regulars so have nothing negative against them, and I forgave Adam Lasnik for being irresponsible and unprofessional for not stepping in earlier and doing his job as a group manager and moderating the flame war!
But what I cannot forgive and forget, that when I turned to Matt Cutts for help as a fatherly figured to webmasters, he banned me from his blog with a public lynching statement on how to ban a user with a MySql Nuke command!
Matt I’ve been programming FORTRAN before you can even write your C++ snippet! So I am not impressed!
Google and Matt made me, I am their worse nightmare. I am the Avenging Angle, for the under dog, the little Webmaster, because I know what it is to be persecuted and ostracized, to be labeled! I even wear the Moniker Igor The Troll as The Red Badge of courage, proudly on my chest!
I am still banned from Google Webmaster Help Group, even though it is a public domain and Google has no rights to ban its user from customer support group!
I will stand proud and strong with Andy Beard and Aaron Wall in advocating the rights of Webmasters against Google and its Evil leader Dr. Matt Cutts.
Matt you are a Hypocrite, not Webmaster’s friend!
