whoneedsgoogle 25 Reasons You Dont Need Google

When you were in High school did you do the same things that everyone else did ?


I know I didn’t. You shouldn’t be following them either


There’s an old saying “If bob jumps off the bridge do you want to jump off the bridge too?”


Read the 25 reasons You Don’t Need Google below:

1 For every search , for every keystroke Google records it in their little black logs that are backed up on multiple servers across the world.



But why do they want to know what browser you’re using , your geo-location , your ip-address as well as other miscellaneous information. It’s kind of scary if you think about the amount of info Google has on all of us.
2 Google’s Adsense sounds really great and profiting at first but what most people do NOT know is that in Google’s fine print it basically says that if you break any rules then you will be banned.



Ok fine , but if you have $99.99 in your account and you are banned before you hit the required $100.00 for a payout. Guess what too bad , Google does NOT have to pay you a dime.

Technically Google stole money from you and used your website to place advertisements for free. To me that is stealing. But Google is allowed to take advantage of you because you agree to Google’s terms in their fine print.

It’s a great scam & now I kind of understand why Google generates so much money & profit when they are screwing the publishers.

To make things even better even if you did not break the rules or if someone crazy clicked the ads like 200 times then you are again out of luck.

Do yourself the favor if you are a publisher and sign up with buysellads. It’s better than having to deal with Google and getting .005 cents for 1-3 clicks a day.
3 If your a user of Gmail be careful , Google’s new motto soon will be “all your info are belong to us”. Every email you send , receive is scanned and recorded by Google and even if you delete them , you can bet that Google has a copy of it backed up.



For what reasons would they back up your private emails ? Only God knows.
4 Google’s toolbar is just like spyware it spies/logs every single page you visit / use or query for (creepy).
5 Google’s cookie will stay on your machine until the year 2038 , so from now till 2038 they will know about every site you will visit.

6 Google is old and boring. There are other cooler alternatives with more functionality while searching. Check em out :

7 Google no longer has reason to continue innovating it’s search engine because it already has a majority of the internet search industry’s marketshare.
8 Google says that it will penalize any website that has paid text links or uses textlinkads because it is considered spammy.



Then what the hell is adwords ? Sounds like a monopolistic company crying about potential competition and lost profits. Besides who wants to use adsense?

If you do use paid adlinks or publish them such as the new system called InLinks which was introduced by TLA a few months back bought up a lot of controversy.
9 Through the years of constant use it seems Google is becoming spammed up more than ever.



The funny thing is I dont think google cares much because they will allow people to pay sponsored websites within the search results that are not even related.
10 Google’s attempt as an alternative to Word & Excel isn’t a full solution. People should instead go with open source programs such as Open office , ThinkFree , Zoho.
11 Google’s Chrome is not the best answer for bug-free websufring. Sure it may be crash-protected but isn’t firefox also ?



Asides from this you may have a very hard time trying to login to your hotmail account from chrome. Oh and you can’t use it on a Mac or Linux system.
12 Google’s Youtube has been a wonderful innovation in the way users share videos with one another.



But as of late I’m tired of clicking an episode of my favorite show only to be rickrolled by some idiot.

Plus I don’t like the annoying ads that appear in videos as well as the fact that they are selling videos. Are you kidding me Google?

Check out these amazing alternatives that have replaced the need for Youtube ;
A) Hulu – Watch full episodes of your favorite T.V. Shows

13 Google’s widley known blogger is a great free tool for letting people voice and share their ideas but there are services such as wordpress that are exponentially better with more features and less hassle/restrictions.
14 The latest announcement from Google has some worried about the discontinuation of Google Notebook , as an alternative that is just as functional and sleek is Evernote.
15 Google Analytics is helpful to the majority who have used it. But there’s one thing that really bugs me about it is that you can not get Live statistics of who’s coming in & out.
