    Hi there,

    i was just looking for a site map maker in google, and one of the adwords that showed up have used these block things in the title. Is this allowed?

    Well, its not allowed but you can use it until they find out. I tried it for a few hours and no one caught me, the results were nice but I pulled the ad before I had a chance to get busted or to see a big reward. I guess maybe the risk of pissing off G is not worth the reward of a high CTR for only a few hours. Do you know what I mean?

    completely agree,

    i kinda find it strange that people would do this though? especially if most of their traffic comes from google, why risk!

    yeah, I saw a pretty big jump in CTR but you're right, its not worth the risk. I guess it's always just best to play by the rules and master the matching tools.

    I've seen those ads before too. And I must admit, I am tempted to click on them too but hey, there's something about using sneaky tactics - it doesn't pay off in the end!
