When the entity that provides 90% of the country’s information search inquiries is run by leftists that is a huge problem.

If you don’t pay for adwords on Google your company will not be found. The more you pay the higher in the rankings. The internet use to be an advantage to small businesses. No longer.

Boycott Google. DuckDuckGo has superior search results and they do not track you or sell your data.

Anti-trust charges? How quaint a term. How about Anti-Freedom or better Anti-American charges? How about charging it with Consumer Protection violations. Live by the fraud, die by the fraud.

Interesting.

“Here’s a high-level, TL;DR preview of what you’ll learn in more detail in this guide:

Google Ads is based on an auction system that rewards businesses who have high-quality ad campaigns with lower costs and better ad placement.

You can exercise tight control over how your Google Ads budget is spent using tactics like ad scheduling, geotargeting, and device targeting.

The average cost per click in Google Ads is between $1 and $2 on the search network. The average CPC on the Display Network is under $1. If you’re advertising in Display, try using our free Smart Ads Creator to build pristine new display ads in minutes.

The most expensive keywords in Google Ads and Bing Ads cost $50 or more per click. These are generally highly competitive keywords in industries that have high customer lifetime values, like law and insurance.

Giant retailers can spend up to $50 million per year on paid search in Google Ads.

The average small business using Google Ads spends between $9,000 and $10,000 per month on their Google paid search campaigns. That’s $100,000 to $120,000 per year.”

Can the federal government really sue these corporate creatures?

Really, I thought these social medial entities were just creations of the alphabet spy agencies.

Pray hard that this is the beginning of the globalist cabal being destroyed by the old, but oh so wise, anti trust laws of this country.
