Is This a conundrum, a catch-22, or just

a feature of Adwords?

I suspect you are all familiar with those Best X sites spam/mfa adsense sites.

I notice that they are able to advertise on Adwords since their ads appear occasionally on my site.

Now here's the conundrum... these best x sites steal my content to list on their pages as a 'best site'.

They are able to advertise in adwords.

However, I'm not able to advertise on adwords because of low quality score. What do you call that, Adwords logic?

My content on their site makes their LPQ acceptable!
I think I'm going to create a site that is the Best of the Best x Sites.. Steal all their content (stealing some of mine back) and see if Adwords will let me advertise that site - I bet they will.

Stop crying. They usually scrape google/msn/yahoo. So they are just taking snippets. If they're stealing your content, so is g/m/y. Go make a better site.

Also, AdWords is broken, so learn how to beat it.

'Go make a better site'

You are a sweatheart.

Wish you were here.

If you don't find what I said interestingly odd then perhaps you might consider... well you know.

Are there ads appearing in the serps or just in the content network?
