However, it's not the first time we hear from google cancelling adsense accounts and cut all communication. I know it's the user's responsibility to make sure his stuff is clean, but most the time the user has no f*ing clue what stuff he did/does wrong.

#33Also, as someone else pointed out this company's meta tag structure is awful. They've clearly invested no time in trying to optimize their site for search engines.
This is a ploy to get media attention. Why am I contributing to the probelm?

#34Caution, monopoly at work.
I think it's a good comparison to Google. The big G can say "We're not being evil!" all it wants. But the fact is that it has a near monopoly on search engine advertising which allows it to treat its advertisers awfully. Imagine a radio station randomly pulling ads without a proper explanation. What would happen? The radio station next door would get the ad dollars.
Try calling Google Adwords phone support (trust me it exists, my friend works there.) You won't find the number listed on their site. I googled and found it on some obscure forum. I was answered with a teleprompt, asking me for my adwords customer number. I'm not a high roller (couple hundred bucks a month) so after the system identifed me it dropped my call. I had to use their crappy email system, where I was answered by a cut-and-paste response that didn't answer my question.
I've had no trouble reaching Yahoo and MSN's search engine marketing groups by phone.

#35Is the title perhaps vague or misleading? studiobriefing.net appears to have been delisted, not IMDB itself. Saying 'we', given the domain, kind of implies IMDB - I appreciate it's a quote, but it's out of context.
Which begs the question as to why this is on imdb at all? Is imdb syndicating their "film news"?

Though I guess I should give up at this point.

#38Probably, someone with money contacted Google and asked them to do it. StudioBriefing did news articles about the entertainment industry, so it probably had pissed off some company or other high-rolling entity.

It just so happens that everyone else is really really shitty.

There is certainly a place for precise terminology, but it's not necessary in casual conversation.
