The hammer falls on those assholes with adwords/clickbank ads of "make a shitload with only 1 hour of work a week"
BUT WAIT.... there's more.
As an added bonus, Google's also filtering Adwords ads extra hard and killing adwords accounts:
Even as we're taking legal action to try to cut these sites off at the source, we're still working constantly to remove scammy URLs from our index, and we'll permanently disable AdWords accounts that provide a poor or harmful user experience, whether or not they use Google's trademarks illegally. That said, we can't guarantee that schemes like these won't pop up, like the proverbial "Whack-A-Mole", someplace else online ? either on a different network or under a different name.
We can solve only part of the problem ? the rest is up to you. Just as you should be careful about giving out financial information in the real world, you should be skeptical and review any offers online before sending any information, and always be on guard when presented with an offer that seems too good to be true. Below is a significantly abridged list of some names that we know are suspect. For more tips on how to spot a scam online or what to do if you think you or someone you know has been tricked, check out this earlier post.
