adwords abuse

There has been a recent explosion in abuse of AdWords, Google's PPC (pay per click) advertising platform. It is apparent that the techniques do not follow Google's own clear guidelines. Unfortunately, users and legitimate advertisers pay the price, while Google and the unscrupulous advertisers profit. Google has always put its users first and one would hope that they will continue to abide by their charter. My aim with this video is to urge them to do something about these issues sooner rather than later. Please send an email to Google, or to your favorite business or technology publication/blog

You seriously decided this would be the best thing to do with your time on this Earth? Noone clicks on that shit anyway...

This is Old News. Google now has a system in place that charges you based on your landing page content Vs Keywords. The more relivant the keywords are to your landing page, the less money google will charge you per click, People can still advertise like this, however google will slap the hell out of them with super expensive clicks.. $5.-$10. Per Click. This didnt "solve" the problem, but it slowed the "spam" down bigtime..

I'm not sure about abuse, but I don't like like being sent to a page that does not give me the information I'm looking for.

Thanks, I hate it when I land on an ad page that has nothing to do with what I'm looking for. Wastes my time and makes me skeptical of clicking on an ad in the first place. Google still has some great features but I have a low tolerance for ending up where I didn't want to go.

What about Thomasnet and Globalspec? When I google Ball Bearings they have an adword ad and then the user is sent to their "directory" which is paid inclusion.
