Ads in Page for Counterfeit guitars

[Pierre Von Mondragon]

Er, one of the ads that comes up automatically, for Chinese made guitars, is for a blatantly dodgy counterfeit selling operation.

Ad links to this page Made in China Gibson, Fender Guitars Supply, Wholesale Electric & Acoustic Guitars

Then clicked on a Gibson link, as it is even more unlikely that any legit branded Gibbo could be found for the prices quoted, you might find a Mex Fender at some of these prices, nae a Gibson, so check this page of 'delights' Wholesale Gibson Les Paul guitar Guitar,Buy Wholesale Gibson Les Paul guitar Guitar Products from Chinese Wholesalers TradeTang.com

So, think, mmm Black Beauty LP with bigsby, at a max price of $363, how could that fail to be a happening deal, or anything less that straight up, so check the dudes page for this item Gibson Black beauty electric guitar 3 pickups with gold arm on TradeTang.com

I get that overseas production can bring down costs, but how does that square with the made in USA stamp on the back of the headstock, it doesn't, and proves that this is a site selling illegal counterfeit merchandise, of 99% certainty that it will be shodd-tastic.

Now, y'all may buy yer ads in unseen, or from an aggregator or something, and may have no power over this, but I doubt that its the sort of thing you would want AM to be associated with. Who else should this sort of thing be reported to, coz, although you'd have to be mental to fall for such an ad, many people are precisely that.

I'm pretty sure the ads are just placed there by Google, who scan words on the page and put in adverts appropriate to what's on the site. Dunno if Neil has much power over it.

Ah, that would explain the 'ads from google' bit that often (though not in the above case) appears.

Does this mean that they have decided to go 'evil'?
