I got that offer I think it sucks.

1) I hate "smart pricing." It is a black box - I have no idea how it works. Their explanation is horrible. They need a seperate bidding market for content ads - not fun and games.

2) I found the offer misleading. I consider a rebate cash in my pocket. They are only offering a credit that has certain restrictions like it has to be used in a certain timeframe.

3) I still find it objectionable that as I understand it Google considers parked domains as content sites.

4) The BIG problem, though, is the credit is not enough. It amounts to a 10-25% credit, but if there was a seperate bidding market for content ads, I would bid 40% less than for search ads.
