♥ PosetteForever ♥

Some times ago I bought some adsense/adwords advertising in order to gain some new users, it's a pay per click service by google, basically on other sites who host a adsense banner by google our link appeared some times (I paid for it but obviously we don't have banners on PF... ). The banner said something like: <br /> <br /> Posetteforever <br /> Free resources for Poser and Posette <br /> <a class="post-url" href="http://posetteforever.com" target="_blank">http://posetteforever.com</a> <br /> <br /> The clicks were not so many (and I can't pay too much, it was only a test) so probably they tought not to gain enough and unapproved the banner. But not only, they changed it in <br /> <br /> 3d art for fun <br /> Free resources for Poser and Posette <br /> <a class="post-url" href="http://posetteforever.com" target="_blank">http://posetteforever.com</a> <br /> <br /> because probably "3d art for fun" is more appealing and would attire more clicks. So I erased my campaign and wrote them a flaming message. <br /> <br /> The result ? We have completely disappeared from google search... if you even search for "posetteforever" you'll find a very old cache of more than a year ago... <br /> <br /> I'm going to remove all reference to google here and ban their crawler from the site...

Wow, they are touchy! I just tried some vanity searches for some of our usernames at Goolge. Posetteforever is still returned but much lower on page than before. <br /> <br /> Pangor

I closed the doors to the google crawler <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_snooty.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_snooty.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_snooty.gif" alt="" />

Yes, I noticed that only Google has reduced our standing on their index. <br /> <br /> Pangor

I have been watching our position on Google, since they dropped us way down PF has been climbing again. <br /> <br /> Posette: was #231, is now #2 <br /> Posy Poser: was so far down that I didn't continue looking, is now #15 <br /> JanReinar: Posetteforever not listed, is now #1 <br /> The Mighty Zues was off the front page, is now #7 <br /> Posetteforever: fell to less than a dozen references, now there are "about 7900" <br /> <br /> Google images, all references to PF were gone, now we are back. <br /> <br /> <br /> Google's personnel may have been not nice in their actions, but their software and the open indexes that they incorporate into their engines are undoing their damage. <br /> <br /> <br /> Pangor

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> From over there, people bad but bots good. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lmao.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Pangor

mmh... Actually posetteforever has been wiped out again, so I have closed the doors again to their crawlers <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_snooty.gif" alt="" /> ... We're no more listed on google but we're in first positions on all other search engines <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ...

Watching this thread with interest as gooooogle is becoming my least favorite search engine. A search for posette on some of my other often used search engines: <br /> <br /> All the Web #1 <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> <br /> AltaVista #1 <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> <br /> WiseNut #1 <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> <br /> Web Crawler #2 <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wow, they really are vindictive!
