Hello everybody, I found the video below recently, and I think it is appropriate, but first some explanation. My partner and I set this website up with one goal – to convince you that Weight Loss For Idiots (sold as “Fat Loss 4 Idiots”) is an excellent product, and one which deserves your patronage. There are many reasons, but the most important ones are Why do we think these points are important? Well, honestly speaking, we think it is self-evident. But I have about 7 years of Herbalife experience behind me, and I can tell you that this is just as effective as Herbalife, no, actualy more effective. It costs about 10-15% of what your first “full-bore” Herbalife product package would cost. And you only pay once for Fat Loss 4 Idiots, while you pay the same huge amount to Herbalife every month, if you stay with the program. I know enough about other well-known HBL competitors to know that they all function more or less the same way. The key ingredients are monthly payments for products and “stay with the program.” The payout for their independent distributors may be more or less than HBL – that’s not officially published – but the income for the independent dist. is much more influenced by the number of people that (s)he can sign up than it is by the number of kg or lbs that are lost, and by the repetitive nature of the product sales. Now, back to Google. As I am sure you know, Google investigates the vast majority of the websites in the world on a quasi-routine basis. Then Google rates the websites based on a highly complex mathematical algorithm (that’s university Greek for a really big set of equations that nobody fully understands, including the Google people). The results of this mysterious rating determine where one particular website is posted on Google’s search results pages when you click “Google Search” on a Google page. The reason for where a given website is located on the search results page is that most people never go farther than the first 3 to 5 entries, and certainly never more than the first page (ten entries total). That means that if you are listed on the first page, and amongst the first three on that page, you have a very important advantage over someone listed on the second page – probably between 200 and 500 hits per day advantage! And, of course, if there is no listing at all, the website never gets any hits from Google. That is exactly the position this website is in at this time. Google – in its infinite wisdom – has de-listed this website completely from the Google search results. Noone ever knows for sure why a site is de-listed by big G, but we think it has to do with Google’s displeasure that we are striving to promote one product and only one product, that we are pretty aggressive about that, and that we often use content (articles) written by other people and which are not unique on the Internet. Proof of the pudding: on your favorite web browser (hopefully not Google Chrome!) type in google.com, and then (if you are not in the USA) click on the link in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen that says “Google.com in English” – this will get you to the USA website. Then type in the following in the Google search bar: site:weightlossforidiots.org and hit the return. You will get “Your search – site:weightlossforidiots.org – did not match any documents.” as your response. To prove that the site really is out there on the web, go back to your starting point, and erase the characters site: which leaves just weightlossforidiots.org in the search bar, and hit return again. I’m not sure what you will get exactly, because the Internet is constantly fluctuating, but as I am writing this, I get “Search – About 120,000 results (0.30 seconds)” and all of these are not even from our site, but about it. Yes, WLFI.org IS on the Internet, just not on Google! You can check one more thing, just to be sure it is not a fluke: do the same thing with our sister site, weightloss4idiots.org. You will see the same general results. As a check, navigate to search.yahoo.com and make the same entries – Yahoo does not list so many results, but there are over 50 listings for site:weightloss4idiots.org. For us, the owners, it has been a business disaster, pure and simple. Before the first round of this whole Google business started (May 2011), we were making approximately 7 sales per week on the two sites combined. For the past four weeks (mid-March to mid-April, 2012), we have not made one single sale. That is the difference between success and abject failure for an Internet marketer. I used to be a genuine Google supporter. Now, as far as I am concerned, they can go suck rotten eggs! This video (below) is something Microsoft published about Google’s latest venture. Go get ‘em MS! :-D (attention, sarcasm ahead!)We Don’t Love Google
I will publish this on WL4I also, as well as other of my websites as an RSS feed.
I anticipate that all the websites will be de-listed; Google can hurt me a lot more than I can hurt them!
Help us out? Just stop using Google – no Chrome browser, no search engine use, no Google +1, no G-mail, just ignore them – there ARE alternatives – Bing, Ask, etc. for searches, there is certainly no reason to use Chrome (I propose Firefox, although it is getting to be quite large). Google maps and Google translator are replaceable as well. Google +1 is riduculous in any case. There are plenty of alternative email systems. If enough of us do that, Google may see a (very, very) small trend? Then again, maybe not. Thanks for your support and for reading this far down on the page.
We would love to read your comments – I will publish all comments except off-subject spam, and that’s a promise, although I may edit out some links.
