    look in the top right corner, the adsense unit selling links from .gov domains and also the ad for a linkbaiting service. dont these ads have to be approved first?

    Google has been allowing these types of ads for a long time. They dropped text-link-ads from the index, but still allowed them to keep advertising with adwords. Its extremely two faced, they should have dropped them from the index and banned their adwords accounts.

    Yeah it's weird that they let these services to be offered through their advertising system, but the do everything to stop companies like Pay-Per-Post etc...

    Google allows link selling anyway as long as the nofollow attribute is used I think? Someone confirm or prove this wrong please as I'd like to know myself.

    The great thing about running your own business is you can do what you want. And since 99.9% of google's customers like it that way, you're best to just "SUCK IT UP!!"
