If you are an advertiser currently using an ad network such as Google Adwords you should really check out Bubblews.com. If you have never heard of this massive 100% user based network comprised primarily of India/Philippines users exchanging views at the expense of advertisers with absolutely no sale value what so ever, you should definitely check it out to see if Google is running your ads there.
Google utilizes sites like Bubblews.com which are the clear definition of a traffic exchange to siphon advertisers of their investments. From this one site alone (Bubblews.com), takes in an estimated $2000.00 per day in ad revenue. Many more times that amount when you consider Google is taking their share from advertisers as well. On your payment report, it may appear that Bubblews.com traffic of approximately 100,000 daily visits is organic traffic. It is not. The predominant site visitor to Bubblews.com are those submitting a minimum word count of 400 characters while commenting on the posts of others. They are promised $0.01 per view/comment/like. This is also the definition of "Paid Traffic" as well as a blatant "Traffic Exchange".
Ironically, the users of this site comes from poorer countries and they rely upon Bubblews.com for a living, yet an estimated 14,000 of these users report that Bubblews.com robbed them of earning each month. Now imagine if the money you sent to Google to help you get your ads seen was going to buy blood diamonds or was causing poor people to work in sweat shops. How would that make you feel? How would you feel knowing a multi-billion dollar corporation was responsible for this?
It's estimated Google profited over 750 billion in ad revenue in 2013 from advertisers like you. Ask yourself, as an Adwords advertiser, did you get that kind of return on the thousands of dollars in advertising you invested in Google? Probably not even a fraction of that did you profit. And that's if you managed to finish the year without a loss.
As our elected representatives pretend not to know about the tens of thousands of petitions being signed by hundreds of thousands of publishers being robbed each month by Google Adsense, you can help change this and save yourself in the process. Drop Google and make a fair offer to a legitimate high traffic website you like to visit yourself. Trust me, both you and the site owner will come out better in the long run cutting Google out of the loop!
There are no government regulations protecting advertisers or publishers from Google or shady operations like Bubblews.com. Petitions & complaints to the FCC/FBI Online crimes division are out-right ignored as both you and I lose billions each year as a result of their theft. All I can do as a publisher, and you as an advertiser, is drop Google and work together. We can also get the word out.
Would you invest with Bernie Madoff today knowing what you know? Then why continue doing business with a multi-billion dollar company like Google who basically took Bernie's business model and ran with it at our expense?
