Google slipped these sites into the Search Partner Network so when you advertise with AdWords your ads appear on these BS "sites" that Google allows. The fraud is rampant and the traffic terrible and Google is their partner.

I think it's only a matter of time before someone takes Google to court since they have created an elaborate system designed to defraud advertisers. These sites exist for no other reason than to drain advertisers of money. It's not something Google is unaware of. How could they not know that they designed this beast?

So while you could say, "Oh, this is a legitimate Google program", and move on you could also look at it another way. That it's only legitimate to Google and when more advertisers catch on there is going to be a lot more noise about it.
