It may not be illegal, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't a flagrant violation of Google's terms of service and likely to get the advertiser's AdWords account terminated with extreme prejudice.
"Illegal" and "nothing wrong" aren't an exhaustive set.
- cracki 17y agowhat do you mean by "extreme prejudice"?
- NathanKP 17y agoExtreme prejudice doubtlessly means that after Google AdWords finished terminating the scammers AdWords account they will probably also manually adjust their search engine rankings to make sure that they never appear again in any Google search. ;0 Messing with Google will get you totally banned.
- zach 17y agoMeaning like every other Google account termination, probably...
- camccann 17y agoYay, obscure idiom time! The phrase "terminate with prejudice," largely fallen into disuse today, means basically "fire this person and blacklist them from ever working here again". The variant "terminate with extreme prejudice" was popularized by the film Apocalypse Now and is a euphemism of sorts meaning "assassinate". Basically implying (mostly tongue in cheek) that Google's retribution might go beyond just "terminate their AdWords account".
