Gaming Google Adwords

Paul from UberAffiliate.com and Jeremy from Shoemoney.com made some great posts about this shady character using black hat techniques to game Google Adwords. You can read them HERE and HERE.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how this guy is gaming the system and breaking the Google Adwords rules / filters. You cant even submit an All Cap title without getting your ad disapproved...

I've known about this guy for months yet I cannot figure out his techniques. I'm pretty sure that Paul mentioned the general basis of what the guy does but there is still a lot of puzzle pieces missing.

Anywho, read the posts and tell me what you think and if you have any ideas.

      It’s funny how everyone assumes it’s a guy. But…probably is…

      I would say thank Google for the AdWords Editor and the API… in my opinion he/she plays with that more than “normal” users.

      It’s not fair for those who are noobs in this, like me. Pushing everyone’s ads to other pages is not a fair competition, and I bet a lot of persons are affected by this person. Anyway, Google must be doing something about it.

      I could even think that someone in the staff of adwords team in the Google(after all it’s not a small company :D ) is misusing the hack in the code and using that knowledge or directly or via external associates (not everyone in the Google is millionaire after all..).

      Best way to hurt him/them is to bombard them with bots that send false clicks, this will not hurt them financially but it will stall their campaigns.
