Does boycotting Google help? I don't pay them any money.

If you click on their ads, you are giving them money. I discussed this
with the people who run eHam.net, and one of the things they told me
is that they could not survive without the revenue from "ads by Google".

Not only do I boycott google, but I boycott sites with "ads by google" too.
I do give them the courtesy of an email, but it has not been met with
great success as I seem to be the only one that cares :-(

Support the growing boycott of Google by radio users and hobbyists.
It's starting to work, Yahoo has surpassed Google.

Geoffrey:

Lean to edit your "hosts" file if you use windows. You can stop windows
from accessing the ads, and thereby anyone from receiving revenue from
those ads. (will also work in linux)
