# I don't see the Google problem...
It's just their advertising policy... it's not like their censoring their search results:

This blogger makes the point well:

# it has to be said, I was suprised
at the idea of placing ad's to get traffic to a blog, aside from anything else - I don't know anyone that's ever done that. If it's any good, people will find it. (I know that wasn't your point, but hey, I'm tired!)

# Agreed
That was the other point I was too tired to make...

I suppose that's conscious capitalism for you.

# hey you! - yep

Good trip away?

# twas brillig
it was fun and whizzy but i kind of yelled at by my collegues when i got back, and may be going more freelance myself. Also rilly rilly poor. :-( And am going to have to do something about that. On the good side i think i lost weight, so said the drunk lady yesterday??

# it looks ace - some of those pics are amazing.
why'd you yell at people - what've they done? Whatever - you'll be ok, things'll settle down, surely...

# ooops
the other way round... they yelled at me... or more to the point took me out for a talk. They want me to do more corporate blah and im going off the rails on longshots. (they kind of seem to be working though)

# hmm... being more corporate is an arse -
but if it pays the bills and means you get to do good stuff out of 9-5 it'll be ok for a bit maybe? (hmm, no principles me - anything for a quiet life really).

# it's a contentious issue though
pretty much every site has some opinion on it, implicit or otherwise. though having said that, advertising your personal blog on google is incredibly egocentric, no matter who you are.

# Spacefish - how was your exam?
Is your head the size of a Tefal man's yet?

# it was yay! i just wrote shit for an hour and a half
the notes i made in the first five minutes were probably sufficient, but you have to blag these things out.

my head is quite tiny. like a baby's, only much smaller. more exams tomorrow!

thanks for asking!

# phew - well that's all cool then -
see, we said you'd rock. (we hoped it wouldn't be gently, backwards and forwards, but we didn't like to mention it). Yay you!
