Worthing Borough Council Waste OUR MONEY AGAIN
The more you look at what is going on in Worthing/Government this country, the more it makes the blood boil.
This time I did not have to look any further than this blog to find a subject to write about, and yes it involves Worthing Borough Council seemingly spending more tax payers cash on stupid web exposure.
My argument comes from the fact that Worthing borough Council appeared on this very blog via Google Adsense. In case the ad has now disappeared, I took the liberty of grabbing a screen shot.Although this is an initiative that appears to be nationwide at the current time, the promotion of local services should not come from our local government paying Google for the privelege. Google is a cash cow for Google; end of!
As services continue to get squeezed and costs are cut at any possible time, the decision by local/central government to fund an Adwords campaign seems ludicrous.
Here's some shock news for the idiots in control of our cash who devised this ludicrous initiative:
- The site you are paying Google to promote, is no#1 in the natural search results for the Search Term 'Public Services
- Worthing Borough Council are the #1 site for the search term 'Worthing'
Why pay Google to advertise these services when both sites can be found organically?
Residents of Worthing, I have a message to you, the next time that a vehicle needs removing or you have a problem with rats or there are not enough places at the local school for your child.
Don't contact Worhing Borough Council or West Sussex County Council, contact GOOGLE instead, after all that is where our money is heading!

Worthing Borough Council
I wonder if all the councils do that as well?
So if i clicked on the link over and over my council tax will go up even more next year because we pay for there adwords?
Next it will be 0870 premium numbers and no staff locally to deal with anything.

Yes, this is criminal. The UK authorities are lining the pockets of Google.
Still, I get paid each time someone clicks the ad, so you could say that it's a nice rebate for the overly excessive council tax we have to pay in Worthing.
