Build something so good, people will pay for it? It seems to work for companies like Netflix and Toyota.
But not companies like Google, or Facebook, or Twitter...

Here's a google SERP for "insurance": http://imgur.com/VUqwyPq Are you saying the bright "ad" lozenge next to the paid results isn't explicit enough? And anyways, users don't go out of their way to avoid clicking on ads unless the ads are utter crap. Google's whole business is to make the ads relevant to the search and the user, so who's to say the ad isn't actually a relevant result?
Somewhat off topic... but also, it states 1,010,000,000 results on the first page of this query but if I go to the last page, it comes down to 412 results... I can't believe that there is only 412 insurance related pages on the whole Internet... https://www.google.com/search?q=insurance&num=100&safe=off&s...

And I'm willing to bet Google will make a special exception for itself. I actually posted a screenshot on my G+ page yesterday of the most recent fake download button I saw online... On a YouTube banner ad, served by Google AdSense.
Do they have a history of making exceptions for themselves? If not, then you winning this bet will be quite a big deal - it'll show them as anti-competitive. They'd be forcing customers to use their AdSense product instead of just-as-good competitors. Maybe they'll just give this "malvertising" detection software to AdSense who can then filter their own content before it hits websites. I'd be more willing to bet this…
So if a site is using Adsense and doesn't require all ads are reviewed then as site owners appears we run the risk of another part of Google telling visitors that the site is malicious. Hope that the site owner tooling referred to is good enough that it can identify the advert, at worst the network otherwise only option would be to remove Adsense code.
This "Google Safe Browsing" initiative seriously worries me. It's effectively some unknown, mysterious, un-contactable set of AI algorithms/people/who knows what controlling the internet because Google owns everyone's browser. One of my websites got tagged as "Dangerous" and having "harmful programs" despite having nothing of the sort. My guess is a silly hiccup of their neural network algorithms. And I have absolute…
According to the FAQ[0] of the safe browsing program, they attempt to contact you first, but there is a way to contact them. What if you can’t get in touch with the webmaster because they’re not registered with Google Webmaster Tools? Every time we add an unsafe site to the list, we make a reasonable effort attempt to inform the webmaster by sending a notification to a standard set of email addresses (e.g., webmaster…
If anyone is wondering, the site is a location-based file sharing app. It makes use of geolocation and file uploading capabilities. Largely a quick experiment, throwing an idea out there just to see if there's any need for such an app. It was running fine for a few months before Google decided to block it.

I think there's some weird pagination happening in your URL. If I take the "num=100&safe=off&start=400" off, it works as expected.
Please tell me what link you have at result #500, because I can't see it even if I remove the URL parameters and use the standard 10 results per page...

It works as expected according to them if they don't expect you to look at all the results, I guess. Please tell me what link you have at result #500, because I can't see it even if I remove the URL parameters and use the standard 10 results per page...

This is the first ad platform I've seen that is innovative in a good way, instead of the usual remarketing/tracking/native/data whatever bullshit. Seriously, awesome idea and execution. Have you gotten any press for this?
No press, just a reddit post[1]. Do you know anyone? :) [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/43qnen/if_you...

That gets me "Portal: Health insurance - University of Bern", on page 52. The url looks like: https://www.google.com/search?q=insurance&biw=1440&bih=830&e...
But the behavior changed since yesterday... yesterday it would have said "Page 53 of 532 results" and now it says "Page 53 of about 1,010,000,000 results" but most of them still can't be seen...

Yes, there's good reason why I'm posting this from https://www.palemoon.org/ which is Firefox without the politics - Chrome is too intrusive and non-transparent about its intrusion to boot.
How do they fund their security patches?
