Google Toolbar Overwriting 404 Error Pages

By Luis Galarza - Affiliate Marketing Secret Training Guide Blog

Yeah, It's True... Google Toolbar Is Overwriting 404 Error Pages All Over The Web. For Some People This Doesn't Mean Anything. But, For Online Marketers Means That Google Is Stylling Part Of Your Virtual Real Estate Which Can Be Use For Integrated Marketing Practices!

This is a big bad marketing push from Google that is actually taking online marketers virtual real estate that can be use to market their products, for advertising sales, and others... How bad is the news about Microsoft buying Yahoo that makes Google get into bad Internet marketing practices, to push their brand in front of their Toolbar users.

I came across this Internet marketing news about Google title "Google's Toolbar Reportelly Overwriting 404 Pages Across The Web", and got me thinking about the "why?" that is making the company that fights against "Web Spam" is now applying web spam strategies to get more brand exposure and to send Internet users to their search engine site.

And this is not the only thing I don't like about their online business methods, but the fact that by doing what they doing, it's taking traffic for online entrepreneurs, it's also taking your virtual real estate, and your opportunity of monetizing those pages.

Here is what the post said:
"Reports are that when you install the toolbar and surf to a 404 page, a page not found, Google will replace the 404 page with their own page.

I have not tested this myself, because I am on a Mac and this is an issue with a Windows toolbar. I do not know if it affects all 404 pages, both default 404 pages and custom 404 pages or just default 404 pages. In any event, this is what Google uses to replace your 404 page:"


Google need to stop this right away!
