(More) Note: This column documents my recent experience, as a Web proprietor, with the Google dynasty and its—let's just say—"bizarre and/or arbitrarily applied" policy regarding the small fries it will do business with. Two weeks ago, Google precipitously and inscrutably canceled my Google CPC[1] advertising account; there's no telling whether Google will further downgrade its valuation of my site, e.g. lowering the Coffee Coaster's page rank—regardless of what I do or don't do. So in the immortal words of Vince Majestyk, "There's no sense getting on their good side." Hence this column of warning to others expecting smart virtue from Big G. — Brian Wright
