Update On Google Problems

[Captain Zedo]

I've had to join a class action lawsuit against Google about their site-banning practices in third party malware protection. So far it has resulted in a new warning where Google and its cohorts must have a pass-through link on it's warning page.

By the way, Google denies it's being sued, has ever been sued, or had any other problems despite its frequent and catastrophic failures:

I'm still getting false warning about two of my sites that have never had any problem. I guess you guys have noticed that your machines haven't been infected or crashed due to visiting my site. I've re-uploaded every file on the site this morning, so please report any problems you come across. I do this regularly so you *don't* have to worry about any sort of viruses and malware - Google be damned.

A little more on the real meaning of Google:

ARTICLE -
Isn't it time for civil society to pull the plug on Google?

"One newly minted Google millionaire was touring a mansion for sale in Los Gatos. After climbing a hill in the yard and enjoying the view, he asked the real estate agent an unusual question: Could he build a Ferris wheel on the property?

"At one point, he declared that he wanted more land. When told that would mean living near Half Moon Bay, he said he could always commute to work in a helicopter.

"A few minutes later, the client turned his interest to Treasure Island, declaring that he might be able to buy some land there. "It would be cool," Marcus recalled him saying, "to take a speed boat to work every day."

My oddysey with Google goes back to the earliest days when they became more popular than Yahoo! and Lycos. I was a web developer and put up over 70 pages just to track their movement in Google. From these pages I was able to find out how Googles relevancy ratings *really* worked. I also exposed that they have always offered top slots for cash, which they still deny.

At first, Google was interested in what I was doing, but they didn't want me to sell my quarterly reports. I offered them the chance to by my reports, but they didn't want to, so I made a small fortune selling other developers what Google optimizaton worked and what didn't.

Google has threatened to take my sites off their lists for years. I don't know why they haven't done so. I could really care less.

You've got me interested in what sites you have. ^^

I only have one other site:

codepunk.hardwar.org.uk/

It's a web development site that teaches beginning to advanced HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

It hasn't been updated in a while due to the web being in such a flux. The XHTML movement has died and HTML 5 has come out and is supported by all browsers except IE. So, the site's HTML 4.1 tutorials are quite relevant and still universally supported.

I need to update the CSS, but everything on the site is well supported. I just don't have the newest stuff included yet. I will be updating the CSS part to CSS3 over the summer.

I'm also rewriting the JavaScript section. After I get caught up I will add sections on including multimedia, using PHP and databases, how to set up a server, and maybe Perl.

I've had a bicycling site in mind for some time, but I've got too much else to do to begin a new site.

nice site. I need to brush up on my javascript so I bookmarked the page.

but, on your downloads for code editors why don't you have Kompozer on it?

kompozer.net/

I used that when making pages for the companies website that I work at. Best open source wysiwyg web editor out there that I've found.

Also in your 70 site experiment what did you find exactly?

I haven't updated the Code_Punk site for a while. The XHTML/HTML5 debate has been going on for a few years. Now that HTML5 has won, I'll be rewriting that section and updating CSS to CSS 3.

I need to make so many changes that it has become more efficient to rewrite the site, so that's what I'm doing one section at a time. There are many, many new softwares that I need to link to. I'm also adding PHP and how to set up your own server.

Again, the main reason I haven't updated in so long is that I wasn't sure what direction HTML was taking. I'll be updating the Code_Punk site throughout the summer with new examples that work in modern browsers.
