    After seeing yours I did a few searches. And made some screen caps, both eBay and Walmart had some VERY interesting items....

    If I need a lung or a new eye...or a baby!? I know where to go.

    Hehehe. Goes to show how stupid advertisers are in these things, because advertising in this way is basically throwing your money away.

    I'm heading over to Wal-mart after work today. I have been searching all over for a tank for some time. Although, who would want to buy a cheaply made tank from Wal-mart? Yikes!

    They aren't marketing, they are branding. They have a special relationship with Google for that. Most big corporations think the world needs to see your name atleast 16 times a day.

    Those are almost certainly affiliates with wide arbitrage margins bidding on every random keyword -- not the company themselves.

    Pretty weird. I remember that time when some guy was selling body parts and there was people bidding like for 5-6k it was pretty funny but sad.

    The last time I checked, E-bay actually had a policy against allowing people to put up any human body part for sale. So perhaps these are cow tumors.
