    As I don't deal much in books I paid no attention to Amazon that much but testing the waters in health I was surprised to see

    Amazon (sponsored - google)

    Customers interested in this title may also be interested in:
    Sponsored Links ( What's this? ) Feedback

    But even more surprised that this generated a sort of weired entry Google

    Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: The Harvard Medical School Guide To ... [size=-1]... Natural Remedy for Asthma Are youl looking for a safe and effective natural asthma remedy? natural-remedies-clinic.co.uk. Where's My Stuff? ...
    www.amazon.com/ exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0743224787?v=glance&vi=customer-reviews - 53k - Cached - Similar pages[/size]


    It was/is an ad I run on ADsense (obviously)

    This opens some very interesting perspectives on site size generation or avoiding of custom if one happens to be number 3 and gets Where's my Stuff?...

    I noticed it too in my stat log. It showed Amazon as a referrer but not with the usual content-partner http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?client.... style URL. Unfortunately, clicking the referal link brings you to an error page on Amazon so I have never seen a live version of it with our AdWords ads on there either.

    When I first heard about this I thought it’d be Amazon product listings displayed in an Adsense-like way and I figured it’d analyze your content for for products to serve, but they’d be Amazon products. Turns out I was wrong, they want their own contextual advertising network.
