The adwords recommended by Google are simply common 'keywords' associated with your industry. Of course they will include competitors business names, just as your competitors might see your business name pop-up if they did the same search.
As stated in another post, only pirates use competitors names and are quickly removed by Google. If you were dumb enough to try, you would find the same thing.
As to the advertiser who creates a Google advert and directs the traffic to his competitor... how dumb is that! So, are we funding ACCC to go after Google because they have the dumbest advertiser on the planet?
