Well Google owns YouTube and alot of other stuff on the net, I'm pretty sure with the amount of money and resources they have they'll never let this see the light of day!

rom the Outdoor Wire - certainly will affect more than Google - Again - clearly not a case of addressing crime or criminals - just you and I who are affected.

Last week, Cabela's quietly informed its affiliate partners that changes in the Google Advertising Network (GAN) would have a real impact on both Cabela's and the affiliates. Seems Google is "implementing and aligning their search policies within their affiliate network".

The net/net on that "alignment" is the carrying over of Google's editorial ban on advertising of weapons or related items to their advertising policies. So....no commissions collected or paid for any products that fall into those categories. As Cabela's said in their note "this will have a significant impact on Cabela's and its affiliate partners who promote and sell these products."

As my source explained, "Google's affiliate network isn't the only one out there, but for the small business owner, it is one of the easier ones to get involved with and is very easy to use. Now Google isn't going to allow commissions on firearms and firearms-related sales. This is a big blow to small business owners such as myself."

With the proliferation of all sorts of internet commerce, it's only reasonable that businesses in the firearms space would want to participate.

Unfortunately, with major facilitators like Google and PayPal both refusing any firearms-related transactions, it's considerably more difficult than it should be.

Despite the fact the shooting industry remains one of the bright spots in our still-faltering economy, some companies simply will not do business with companies selling products related to firearms. After all, guns do cause violence, right?

It is business discrimination in its purest form, but the discrimination is aimed at guns and gun owners, making it "politically correct" - and that makes it acceptable.

We might not like what we're reporting, but we'll keep you posted.

You got a source link from this?

[Sir-diealot]

It came for a friend that helps run S.C.O.P.E. or Shooters Committed On Political Education. He has always been a good source but I did contact him to get more info and will get back with you when I get it.

Edit: I did look this up and it is all over the net, all you need to do is look. You can look for guns but they will not allow advertising or money paid for advertising adds. http://www.bing.com/search?q=google+to+ban+gun+advertising&qs=n&form=QBRE&pq=google%2520to%2520ban%2520gun%2520advertising&sc=0-17&sp=-1&sk=

I am having a hard time searching for this but it can be found here. http://www.theoutdoorwire.com/archives.html


Here is something I found on it doing a quick search. http://www.wnd.com/2002/03/13128/

So this has been the case for over 10 years now and you want to discontinue using Google search now?  Even though the search function is not effected by the gun rules, just the stupid ads on the right hand side that are always annoying anyways.

This is new with them not allowing them to receive funding for it.
