F*ck Google and Anything Else that Gets in Your Way

There will always be something that gets in your way. Go around, through, over, or destroy it to meet your objective.

Over the last two weeks, I’ve been letting a stupid ruling by Google stop me from writing on this blog.

I was actually making a little more money on Google Adsense than it costs me to run this blog. It wasn’t big money, but it was nice to have. I was profiting about $50 a month. Enough for a nice dinner.

Then Google again said there was a problem with my ads and they demonetized me. There is no reason or appeal. Then a month later it would come back.

I delinked my other blog (on shooting) thinking that was what was getting me into trouble. It worked a little. I was able to run ads again. But then when I started making money on it. I was going to have a good month of $200 of revenue. My best month ever with Google. I got the problem sign from them again. This time it said something about driving “bad” traffic to my site.

I don’t advertise. I don’t post this blog anywhere. I just do a little google-fu for search traffic. I just use highly searched terms in the title, first sentence, and images.

So I don’t know what they are talking about.

And I gave up… actually let that be my excuse not to write. Life got busy and I let laziness get in the way of helping you.

So I got angry. Hence the title of the post.

I learned over 20 years ago in Boot Camp to become a U.S. Marine. To get through impossible things get jumping up and down excited about what you were doing, or get angry at something and let that rage burn into something that pushes you forward.

So here I am, F*CK GOOGLE and anything else that will get in my way.

You should have the same attitude: F*CK anything that will get in your way of doing something great and becoming great.

We all slip and slide from time to time. It is about getting back up and breaking through any and all challenges. And to do that I get angry sometimes and push through.

Try it the next time you are facing something that seems impossible. Get really excited about doing it. Like jumping up and down you are about to win the Super Bowl excited. Or get angry that something is trying to take your greatness from you.
