No More Google – For Me
I no longer use Google as my search engine.
They’ve ruined online businesses that help support peoples families, thereby sending parents of children scrambling to find work, or other ways of supporting their families and this being in a BAD economy.
Legitimate businesses who have nothing wrong with their websites, cannot be found on Google right now because of Google’s latest update. Try it yourself. At least do a few searches and see.
I have Google to thank, for both making my businesses good for a time, then pulling them right out from under me.
Therefore, I am no longer going to be using Google as my search engine of choice, I am going to Yahoo. I will make sites for the reader and for yahoo’s index, not Google’s.
I’m asking you all to do this with me as well as many other people whom Google has made a mess of their financial income and caused insecurity and stress to their lives.
All this during a terrible economy. What a way to help the people of America to make a better life, or at least survive enough to support a family while trying to find other work.
Shame on you Google, shame on your Matt Cutts.
As always I 'd love to hear from you so please leave a comment, and thank for your support!

Does Yahoo bring in enough traffic for your sites (in terms of monetization)?
that’s a trick question. When there’s no traffic coming from Google that’s where the traffic is coming from. But the thing is, is to get people to STOP using Google as their search engine, so Google will lose money, and maybe change their perspective on how they treat people on the web.
Hi Larry, I would suggest to use Bing instead of Yahoo.
Bing powers all yahoo search results, so it’s better off sticking with Bing and getting familiar with their tools.
For example, they have excellent tools for webmasters, better in many ways than Google’s tools.

I’ll definitely be checking it out, thanks.
I just switched to Bing. I’m getting rid of ANYTHING Google related.
I think you shouldn’t blame something that did good things to you and then it starts to refuse doing so
really? why? it was doing good but then it turned against me, and many others. IN a failing economy, Google has hurt so many people, legitimate businesses that they have no sympathy from me. I hope the government takes them down.
Good Day.
Hello Larry. I am really sorry to learn about this development. So what are you up to these days? How are your sites performing? Hope things are bouncing back up. Best wishes from a loyal reader!
DUCK DUCK GO is the only search engine to use. Thank goodness apple recently added it to the iOS 8 update as a default option. DOWN WITH GOOGLE!
