> Have you thought that maybe the "clickers" might purchase something from your store?

If you follow the advice of the poster, you would be clicking on an advertiser that does not sell a product - they offer a legal service that is available only to people with a specific medical condition - so no, I don't think it's cool, or good hearted or whatever.

I would be very interested in knowing if Google will allow me to opt out of this subdomain.

I have no problems with donating to charities and in fact have done a number of pro-bono projects for charitable organizations.

However, as someone else mentioned, this isn't so much donating to the red cross as it is wasting advertiser money - unfairly I might add.

Ask gets a tax break - and adwords advertisers pay for it.
