    can we use adwords to crash competitors server
    i mean can we advertise for our competitor so much so that its server would crash
    u can call this money power to muscle out our competitors :p
    i dont know aanything about adwords but suddenly this devilish idea came in my mind :D
    i know a huge a amount of money would be reqd....
    is that possible that we can advertise for a domain which we don't own , does adwords require to authencinate the ownership of domain before we can use it

    could you all advertisers satisfy my curosity:cool:

    Even if you could pay for traffic as cheaply as 1 cent a visitor, you're going to need to spend thousands of dollars a day to have any chance. Maybe a competitor with a really old server and really processing-power hungry scripts, but I imagine it will do them much more good than harm. If you'd like to trial this on any of my sites, go right ahead :).

    You would not have enough money to do that.

    Even if you did, their server would come back up when your budget ran out.

    No, you can send traffic to (almost) any domain.

    You can advertise any domain you want.
    You could advertise your competitor's domain.
    You could even advertise mine if you want to spend the money :)

    I may participate in this too as a to-be-crashed server owner of course.
