    I did a search for “teen dating” on Google US for one of my websites, and well.. I’ve seen the sponsored link and wondered what it’s about, so I clicked.

    I have seen “google.co.uk” as URL set for a “teen dating” related website? *woot?!*

    Yes, a google.co.uk URL pointing to an adult related site on a "teen dating" keyword.

    My blog article: http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Google_AdWords_relates_AdultFriendFinder_with_teens_bad

    What do you think? Comments on the blog or thread replies very appreciated!

    I really got to understand how this is possible? :eek:

    Yea, but I would guess there are about a millions ads a day served (totally made up number) that violate the TOS in someway. That's the downside (from Google's point of view) of "instant" approval for the Search Network. The majority of the violations are short lived.
