Google Profit Increases Easily Explained
There is a dirty little secret that the high tech news media is keeping hidden on Google's behalf. It is reported on blogs across the internet, and you'll find commentary about it on various video blogs on You Tube which was recently purchased by Google.

After settling an click-fraud lawsuit brought against Google by advertisers, Google began to MORE than aggressively cancel advertising accounts held by websites in their AdSense program -- keeping all monies collected by these websites for itself.

A quick search using Google itself reveals hundreds of webmasters asking, "Where is my money?" Google strings them along collecting these fees from website visitors, then when the time comes to collect Google pulls the rug out from under them saying (in paraphrased fashion), "You violated one of our terms of service. We won't tell you what term it was, and you have no way to appeal this process. As a matter of fact, we won't even give you a point of contact to discuss this matter. We are keeping the money for ourselves."

This new money making strategy on the part of Google has helped to double their profits. If you are collecting money from advertisers, but you aren't payiing the fees out to webmasters -- bingo! We're making money!
