Wow...LOL

Some of this stuff is common sense..and the rest is like a real good speed trap!

eBook sites that show frequent ads  - 3? 5? per page huh?

'Get rich quick' sites - Soooo, if I am a drop shipper and my clients get rich am I in violation?  Or is only if you use the words get rich?  Maybe they just have some super secret list on not allowed products and schemes?   :?

Travel aggregators - Crap, these are actually useful sites! Not better way to get a good price on a flight.

Comparison shopping sites - These too!

OK, so maybe the Get Rich thing is a stretch...But ebooks, and Travel sites, and shopping comparisons are things I USE.  Are they not viable content?  Why should they be any different than any other site?  I personally think they have just as much right to monetize their sites, and Google is only sending business elsewhere.

i have a site that if i wanted to rank for the keyword/phrases it targets i'd need to be paying £4.50 a click to be on the first page of results.  When i worked that out, i dropped the adwords campaign and switched to promoting the site using other means(organic first page results are going to be much more satisfying when i hit them).

PPC has never really been my thing, but some of the prices are ridiculous, how people manage to convert leads well enough to cover £5+ a click, on low value products and services i'll never know!
