Ouch.

I like the way they scream "DON'T REPLY TO US!!!!1!!!" and then insult me.

I visited their guidelines and guess what? It basically says don't copy content, dupe visitors or try to game the search engines. Well, all the content is original, my referral LINK (not plural) is well signposted and I don't think joining technorati counts as gaming the search engines. So really Google, what gives? I thought you were smarter than that. I don't appreciate being lumped in with the idiot spammers.

So, if you want to make money on your website, I won't be recommending Google adsense.
