Competition and how Adsense can cost you a business.

[devine]

Important things that can save you from losing your business.
A kind of things that could cost the new US president his presidency.

Two days ago Alex Jones of Info Wars posted a video on propaganda:
How more than 50% of people reads just openings of articles and how rats use it to defamate the opponents.

Earlier on, some guy tried to pull off something that would get him banned in any community with stronger ethics:
The guy rushed into one of my threads on TFLF and started misinforming readers.
He tried to accuse me of bs, purposely misquoting my words, taking individual words out of context and lying.
I destroyed him paragraph by paragraph, but his posts had a lot of likes, proving the same thing:

Majority of people don't read.
Majority of people eat everything without any examination.

But closer to my original point:

Competition?
A few years ago I managed a global platform for fashion boutiques. We competed with already established companies and quickly outcompeted them on everything:

• We had the best customer service in the world in fashion ecommerce industry.
• We had the best quality control on the market in this industry.
• We fulfilled faster than anyone else on the market, especially in nasty situations. Even when we were clearly right.

We knew that this is a weakest point of any other company:
When they have your money, even if you return a defective or damaged product, they will try to save on you.
On shipping, on customer service, on product they give you in return (I got a defective product up to 4 times in a row).

• We returned money to our customers even in situations when we didn't have to and would be right to not to make refunds. We did it to create the best impression of our business.

I was our own mystery shopper for 2 years and made a lot of orders with other people's names, being a kind of pain in the a$$ few can even handle.
I was 100% sure we cannot have any flaws.

What do you think our competitors did?
Increased quality of their customer service?
Maybe paid more attention when sending 4th defective product in a row?
Or maybe returned money when they had to?

No.
They started leaving hundreds of comments all over the internet.
Saying we have a poor customer service. That we ship defective products and keep our customers waiting forever.
They even paid for a series of articles published about our CEO.

But that's not all.
These rats saw us running PPV ad campaign and they started running their own clickbait ad campaign to... promote a public page and threads with cooked reviews, defaming our company.
Majority of posters were fake profiles, but people ate this bullshit.
If we wouldn't take this campaign down legally pressing on social network, we would lose CIS market in less than 2 weeks.
Whole market in less than 2 weeks.

Adsense? Say bye-bye to your business.
Alex Jones said this in his video and I faced this kind of situation dozens of times:
If you display Adsense campaigns on your website, it means that anything can appear there.

ANYTHING.

• Your competitors.
• Defaming information about your business.
• Ads that devalue your brand, like penis-extenders, potency pills, scam bullshit and other nasty stuff.

If first and second is obvious: you can literally lose your business by displaying defaming ads on your own website and promoting your competitors, third one is tricky:
- Everything that is displayed on your website is a part of your website. It's a part of your brand.

Nobody cares if you're affiliated with it or not, people see it on YOUR website.
And if it's something devaluing, YOUR brand gets devalued.

TFLF displays a ton of things that cannot be associated with a place where serious businessmen dwell.
It's like a bad aftertaste of cheap warriorforum after reading some GOLD thread, posted by a millionaire.
Thanks to adsense.


So, this is it.
Decide for yourself.

I marked this thread "Speedway" so our new clueless audience don't derail this thread with political talks.
