Why Google Killed Linda Ikeji (the Real Reason) by scribble: 1:26pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
For all the people that think Google did not have any malicious reason for killing Linda ikeji pls guess again. It's not copyright like they say on the surface. Linda ikeji is the biggest competitor to Google Nigeria adaense business. Three things you have to understand, 1. Google Nigeria is not the same company as Google Inc. The former makes its profits in Nigeria where the online ad business is not as robust as it's intl counterpart. 2. Linda Ikeji makes millions of dollars directly from advertisers. This is money she takes out of Google's mouth. Whilst she still runs theirbadsense platform on her mobile and desktop sites making tens and tens of thousands of dollars routinely. 3. That is a threat to Google Nigeria. A few months ago, a Google ad sense worker turned whistleblower explained how Google has a policy of looking for ways to disconnect successful publishers from their ad sense revenue in order to drive the brands profit. That story was on front page then, if you need a link, ask me and I will provide. So Google copyright argument is just their official line. Have you ever stopped to think why Nairaland does not run Google adsense? As for the haters. Yes we all know Nigerians have jealousy and envy more than business acumen. I'm in the business. Linda is my competitor. My site makes 8 figures a year but I don't touch Google. Bastardos dealt with me before. Linda's biggest mistake was not exclusively going to Nigerian brands direct and being on . FOr you haters, I feel sorry for you because by the time she starts driving a Bentley you guys will choke on your hate. Seun, mods pls front page Abeg. Wanted to say this on my other three yesterday But Phcn struck and I gave up. People need to know how Google ruins publishing business out of greed and corporate impunity and intolerance. PLS. 6 Likes 1 Share |

I guess the mistake she made was that when the business start getting big, she should have opted out of google and started her own website. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The gullibility of Nigerians make them just come up with dum.b reasons and theories everytime. Its sickening. Linda Ikeji is neck deep involved in plagiarism. No 2 ways about it. I do not visit her site because if I want a news item, I know where to go. Google is one of the places. I dont know what 'hater' or hating has to do with this. |

Linda Ikeji makes millions of dollars... You must be smoking some bad bad ganja. Google and Google is the same Google in Nigeria, in Casablanca, in Mongolia, in Romania and even on MARS. I know crooked and corrupt Nigerians value money and greed over good name and good reputation, but Google's global brand name and reputation is more important than your gossip and plagiarizing blogger... There is more to humanity than money, greed and bad name.. 9 Likes |

A census of those on the side of google yields in NL a very interesting result , i have been reading responses from yesterday on this tragic event that happened to Linda Ikeji and responses has been quite revealing and interesting , most people who make a joke of it or are on the side of Google appears to be from a certain part of the country while those who are hurt with the action of google are from another part of the country ,why do some people make fortune out of other people's misfortune. Linda Ikeji would bounce back soon 2 Likes |

@OP, don't you think Linda loves awoof too much. Her greatest undoing is revealing her lavish lifestyles. A business owner will always protect his business with policies that will maximize their profits. Linda Ikeji is an household name she too should start seeing herself as a brand with corporate responsibilities. It will only take some time she will still be back online fully. Then she will know what good Google have been doing her with free service. |
Re: Why Google Killed Linda Ikeji (the Real Reason) by Nobody: 2:27pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
there is sense in what the op is saying but only those who wish to think and see things from other perspective may get the drift. Google once gave seun a condition as a result of whether inciting or hate comments from users of this forum. that was probably the last month he ran ad-sense. they have shut down many ad-sense accounts for one crazy reason or the other with all the earnings seized. All in all, Linda drew attention to herself with her incessant flaunting . her tribe also has a major role to play in the bashing she is getting at a time like this from her fellow countrymen and women . 3 Likes |

Op pack well. Linda is a threat to google? SMH. Do you know how many times her adsense account has been suspended? Anytime they suspend her account, she'll insult them and few weeks later after cleaning up the blog, she is back using adsense again. As to why nairaland can never have adsense? The basic structure of nairaland violates adsense's TOS. Compare nairaland to reddit, on reddit only the link to a story is posted on the forum then forum members discuss, contribute argue etc. reddit can't be accused of plagiarism. 1 Like |

Re: Why Google Killed Linda Ikeji (the Real Reason) by onatisi(m): 3:05pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
All those supporting linda are only doing more harm than good to her. You keep shouting she will be back she will be back and in the process raising people expectation about what to expect ,if she doesn't meet up to peoples expectation ,then that will be very disastrous |

This is an eye opener. I think it is high time we realize that we can do our own thing and also become more proactive in the way we handle our business. I know that Linda will bounce back even stronger and not even google can stop her. I like the fact that asked why we think Nairaland doesn't do google ads, because i have always wanted to ask Seun why he didn't but now i know why. #TeamIndependent Thanks for the write up bro. 2 Likes 1 Share |

onatisi: bossip.com does the same thing Linda does and is an American country. Why hasn't Google yanked then off. We blacks are the authors of our own undoing. Because she brought. Range to show una Abi. Chei. The hate and thirst in Nigeria is real. After I marry shortly I'm moving out of country for at least two years so some envy will die down. |

onatisi: the internet is an open source(if you know what that means) . copy pasting without link backs or acknowledgement is common, singling her out for such treatment because some Caucasian looking fellow reported her is unacceptable. the worst they should have done was to stop her earnings from the day she was reported till she do the needful or they could have also removed all their adverts from her blog such that she will not earn anything from those pages that contain such copy right texts or images till she meets the required condition. if it was linda that reported that guy to google , will they take this same action or because she is from 3rd world so anything can happen 1 Like |
