Here though, you must put yourselves in the shoes of someone else; if Shoehorn (obviously) didn't think what he bid on was even a possible potential problem, and it's clearly not against the terms, he went ahead and promoted the site and should be paid for his efforts as he violated no rules.

I do think that from this thread though, a lot more people will now ask a program first before starting any PPC campaigns
