    I was getting some darn low paying ads for a couple of days, so i did investigation and found all MFA sites targetting my keywords. Almost 50% ads were MFA and they are outbidding other top advertisers by prolly using long keywords.

    The ultimate example of this MFA ad: http://free.skype.phone.googlepages.com/]

    Just visit his website and check what he is trying to do. He is asking visitors to download Google Pack pretending it's a skype free download. WOW. I wonder how did he manage to even get adwords account with this page?

    Adwords tends to jack minimum bids up to $10 if content and ads don't match. In this case the content matches but the Google referal ad doesn't match the content. Also, they are supposed to say "click on my ad". If it makes you feel better, I bet he's not making a whole lot because the Skype seekers don't earn him anything unless they install and use the tool bar.
