Google informed us that May 25th (previously May 14th) is the newly scheduled date for dropping of pharmacy ads. They said this is subject to change.

Think they're trying to squeeze out a few more millions of dollars so the IPO figures look good?

Just today I noticed a qualitative change in AdWords for drugs. When searching for Vicodin, hydrocodone, oxycodone, it seems that I have to dig a lot deeper to find the ad that offers an online consultation via a questionaire and FedEx delivery the next day. Now there are a lot of Canadian pharmacy ads.

Can anyone confirm for me that Google is finally weeding out the rogue pharmacy ads? It's only been six months since they promised to do this!
