The model of buying cheap ads and then having pages with nearly no content filled with many more higher paid ads?
When I ran a site that had adwords I hated directories like this they would fill up all the ads on my site and no one would click them nor would anyone be happy if they did. It was a constant battle of banning those domains from ads I would allow on my site.

Google does something similar itself with its "link units" where you click through to a new page with a whole group of ads. Advertising is not immoral (usually), illegal (usually), or some sort of thing to wipe out. Buying cheap and selling high is how the world works - whether you're selling labor, bricks, commodities, or, yes, advertising. Would you be raising similar objections if, say, the Yellow Pages advertised with "Find all Builders in YourTown, FL", and it then went to a page with a (paid) list of all the builders in said town? If so, why? It'd be useful and a good demonstration of arbitrage.
