    Hello

    I found my website listed in top of AOL as sponsored by a very good search term and I didn't paid for this. I can belive this. I had a google adwords account a year ago but all my campaign was paused for almost 8 months. I really don't know what's happening there. Why my website is listed in spososred result withouth any action from my side? Does anyone had any experience with this?

    Thanks

    Have you logged into your adwords account and checked your settings? - AOL is one of google's search partners, and it's sponsored results come from adwords.

    Did you click on your ad to see if it lands on your website? I often see my websites in google adwords ads which i have never paid for, its usually some other websites which put your url name in url section of advert but when you actually click on that ad, it lands on to some other site.

    Yes, it happened to click on it and to get a xxx website. But not all the time. Fore example I'm listed again right now as sponsored and the ad point to my website. Is very stange. I have no opened campaign in AdWords. Is it possible AOL to list sometimes some useful websites for free?
