Google Advertising Loves Link Farms

From Rick Strahl's Weblog:

Quote:
A couple of months ago I started in earnest tracking the advertising hits that Google generates for me. And what I found is not a happy picture. About 30-40% of the traffic generated -- ie. the traffic that I pay for -- comes from link farms
I thought this was messed up:

Quote:
I sent an email to Google Adsense support and asked about Link Parking sites and what their policy is in regards to counting these hits towards paying clicks. The response was essentially a shrug of the shoulder: Yeah, we know about it and they are legal, and sure you have to pay for these links. In fact the support tech was trying to convince me that these Link Parking site links do better conversions than 'regular' links. Better for whom? For Google?
Google AdSense Advertising - eeech...
