Look At This Shady Adwords Technique

Hey all

I came across the weirdest adwords ads today. I was checking rankings for some old product reviews I did and I decided to click through one of the adwords ads because the display url looked like some form of authority site.

One of the keywords I used was "google payload review" and one of the adwords ads belongs to "www.ScamReviewTeam.com".

You won't believe their landing page.

Have a look at the page. It's dull and ugly and has NO link to google payload.
How come?

Closer inspection revealed that this page was cookie stuffing Google payload.

Is this advertiser making money with this technique?
Chances are pretty good he is doing well (considering he/she is doing this for various products) due to the following reasons:

1. Super fast loading page
2. Very keyword relevant
3. ZERO affiliate links
4. All the necessary pages to get a high quality score.
5. Main domain has inbound links and not banned
6. Ad copy is very relevant

This person is definitely paying minimum bid.

He is capitalizing on the fact that most of the merchants he/she is promoting are lying at the #1 spot in the organic serp results. That way, the visitor gets cookie stuffed, hits the back button and then goes to the right url.

He/she also has several ads of the same nature for the same keywords, just different domains. So even if they hit the back button and go to the second ad, they get stuffed again.

Pretty shady hey?

Even though it's shady, I must say...it's pretty smart.
I'm just wondering how the Adwords review team can pass such a junk page!??
