I noticed today there as an adword using a similar form of words to mine, with my URL at the bottom, but it wasn't from my account. I don't run an affiliate program on that site, and the actual target URL that hte link went to was someone else's site with a tracking link. After checking out that link - it did go to my site.

Whta's going on? Why would someone pay to send me traffic?

When it stopped through the other site did it stuff cookies or something? Could they somehow use this to track your sites conversion?

I would certainly be very suspect.

I know virtually nothing about Adwords ... but I would certainly want to know what it is all about as well. That's just too weird!

Write to Google to find out what's up. Do it now!
