At this time, Google policy does not permit the advertisement of websites that contain "language that advocates against an individual, group, or organization."
Are we allowed to "advocate against" terrorists?
Or murders?
How about "advocating against" SUV owners, or cigarette smokers, or the Boy Scouts?

"At one time Alta Vista was king of the hill. Google, like all things human, will pass."

Maybe we should help accelerate things. Any of you geeks have an up-and-coming search engine you'd like to tell us about?

Really? What about when they have a Wall Street Journal ad that leads to an anti-socialist or anti-Saddam article?

Golly, you really got me on that one! We really need to boycott Google. Those liberal so-and-so's.

yawn....

Did I miss where the Christian Courier went over Teresa's head? She has a boss, and surely Google has an appeals process. It should have been used before Jared Jackson wrote this. His willingness to badmouth Google over what may be an underrling's unauthorized or illconsidered decision says as much about him as it does about Google.

IMHO, Google will fall. : )

"Google is a private business and can list or not list copy as it chooses. The Christian Courier has no claim on them except the usual arrogance of the Saved.

Agreed. I wonder what would happen if NAMBLA or Planned Parenthood wanted to advertise in the Christian Courier?

They license Google results...have to go somewhere else to implement the Great Google Ban of 2003.

I hope that too many people don't boycott Google because Google is the only search engine that regularly sends traffic to my site. Without the traffic that I receive from Google, there'd be little point in my having a website. I think Google at one time was actively posting links to Free Republic discussion threads when the content of the thread matched the search words. Overall, I think Google has been good to the conservative movement. I agree with the poster who suggested contacting this woman's supervisor. Maybe she is misinterpreting the policy.

I NEVER use Google or for that matter any of the other popular search engines. I downloaded a free program named Copernic which searches all of the major online search engines simultaneously. It can be found at http://www.copernic.com but just make sure that you download the free version unless you want to pay for the pro version. I have been wondering why everyone on Free Republic mentions google instead of just using Copernic. If you can find out how to get hits from Copernic I'm sure your website would be more busy than it is now.

Thank you. We needed input from the damned. Take a bow.

Why not reword your linked heading showing the positive slant on what the Bible has to say about your topic? I doubt they have the time to read each and every link submitted to them in their entirety.

Don't make it the anti gay link heading, but how wonderful the Bible is for being so straight-forward in defining abominations to G_d.

Just an idea...

Yeah, promoting hatred is what we need a lot more of. Not.
