Adult webmasters have long lamented the short-end of the stick they (we) get from Google, from selective search keyword rankings.
A number of years ago, Google set out on a convoluted project to become the world's largest library of books. They started getting books, and scanning them, page by page. This enraged authors and publishers, and the issue of fair use stepped in, and Google was retrained a bit.
In 2011, I added all 400+ of my male nude photography eBooks to the Books dot Google dot com catalog. Because they have a sister site Play dot Google dot com, which sells eBooks for a nominal rate.
At that time, they required that 20% of the pages be made available for free preview. The false argument was that previews spurred sales. It's similar to the false argument of Tube sites that 60-minute free previews of a video spur sales of said video! Which most of us have known to be false since at last 2008 when it really started becoming a widespread concern, and more seem to be jumping on the bandwagon nowadays.
So I shut off my eBooks on Play dot Google dot come. In late 2012, I contacted them again to see if the ridiculous policy of 20% free views was still in effect. Actually, it had come to their minds that ANY free views of nudity, without age verification, was really, really bad, and since my eBooks were about nudes, MALE nudes, my eBooks fell into a new policy of 0% free view of pages with nude images!
With their help, all of my eBooks were restored and put back on sale. All was great until last week, when Google purged ALL NUDITY from both parts of their books site. Not just me, but all searches on nude photography turned up books that had been pulled.
More anti-Adult actions, in the Obama era, where serious economic recovery occurred, in just a few years, following a horrible, and yet unaccounted for, economic recession.
What a great way to shoot western economies in the foot, than to censor popular products, because of nudity. That an all correspondence with Google is with one-word mid-East or Polynesian named call center drones.
It's times like these - with PayPal and Google - that we wish Chad wasn't busy.
