    I was looking around to find out what kind of ways people use to place their adwords and found some interesting stuff, I do not know if it is cheating

    :

    1 - there is this adword :

    Adwords
    Make some serious profit
    With Adwords.
    www.Lifepeaks.com

    that links to :
    http://www.google.co.uk/pagead/iclk?adurl=http://help.lifepeaks.com/adwords.htm&sa=l&ai=BiH7ZX-I1Qt_pOJ66wQH-oPjVDYmdwgn547egAZST3gbQhgMQAhgDKAIwATgAQIoWSLw5oAHDj6P-A8gBAQ&num=3


    This page is http://help.lifepeaks.com/adwords.htm
    which has an adword in it !

    Is this cheating?


    2 - Is it cheating to advertise affiliate programs, by not stating your affiliation, but by pointing to a redirect page of yours?


    3 - How do people manage to get a search term in the adword? Like when you search for something random/irrelevant and adwords about it appear for ebay
    Is this cheating?

    By displaying a single ad with no apparent text content, my own opinion is that it is a breach of the AdSense policy.
    Depends
    Use a dynamic header ;)

    In my estimation this page http://help.lifepeaks.com/adwords.htm is a worthless page. As a browser I would be quite upset to arrive there and would exit withouot clicking on link to get away. I do not like to be manipulated.

    This is the kind of crap that has forced the introduction of smart pricing.

    Smart pricing blows...thats probably why so many people complain about decline in EPC and CPM
