MIFFED

:'(

I'm a little bit miffed this morning. Well, a LOT miffed! Last night I got a message from the Great God of the Web "Google" telling me my ads have been removed from my blogs and travel site because of 'suspicious' activity. Does this make me a criminal? I have appealed but no reply. I believe it's because some very well-meaning friends of mine have been conscientiously clicking the ads in order to help me generate some funding for my site. I guess that sort of thing is against the web laws! Anyway now I am trying to figure out Plan B. Don't exactly know what to do about it or where I can find alternative ads for my site. But I won't despair yet. If anything it may mean that I have to cut back on publications or cut the fees offered for the contributors. Up to now, aside from a couple cheque I got from G. it's all out of my own pocket and I'm not very well off at the moment and desperately trying to save money for Chile (without much success. I had the plane fare and ended up spending it on medical expenses to attend to a pinched nerve in my foot and other problems).

If anybody out there has any brilliant suggestions, please let me know.
This is all very frustrating, as the Travel Thru History site has been gaining popularity and getting great reviews and I certainly don't feel like dropping it
when things were seemingly going so well.

That's a real shame, Wynn, I hope Google see sense.

I found the following from Martin Lemieux.

And try the Amazon Affiliates program. I got the 'My Picks' on the front page of my website from there. It looks good!
I hope Google sees sense, too! Otherwise I may have to remove mine in solidarity.

I wonder why this blog doesn't show up on the list of the others I have written. It's not there. Vanished. Is there a conspiracy at work here?
