Google Ad-words Poetry Project

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-unique dept.

    I know this is off-topic, but the page linked to here where I found this choice morsel from google's adwords policies:

    Links: Ad links to your website must allow people to return from your site to the results page by clicking on the browser's BACK button. These links must open in the same browser window as the ad. Links to pages that spawn pop-up windows are not allowed.

    I can't help but be impressed. And they don't go around blurting out how they protect user interests either.

    As if that wasn't enough, I did a search today for hhgtg.txt. Try it yourself and see if you aren't impressed.
