    From the page: "Having been defamed by Google, along with many other bloggers, gave me an opportunity to reevaluate my relationship with big G. I have decided to see how will this blog survive on its own- without Google. So I have instructed Googlebot to stay way from this blog. But I also have requested to remove my entire website from Googleâ€s index via Google Webmaster Tools (formerly know as Google Sitemaps)."

    An interesting experiment -- to see if a blogger can go it alone without the Google Search Engine traffic. With Google roaring about attacking every site it sees these days (or so it feels like this last month) I imagine there's more than a few others wanting to free themselves and do the same.

    Vlad takes a stand against the mighty Google, let's support him wherever we can. A friendlier blogger would be hard to find and his experiment of disallowing his blog from the Googlebot will make for an interesting journey.

    Vlad has decided to block Google from indexing his content. Some background information in addition to what is included in his post - he used to be a comfortable PR4, and as an affiliate writes about a number of products on various websites using affiliate links/ Google doesn't require you to use nofollow on affiliate links, even though you are making money When he chooses to write a paid review of a service, or include a link, even though he might take a payment for it, at the end of the day he makes less money than if it was an affiliate link. Many affiliate links these days are 100% clean, with backend code used for detection.
