Dell recently filed a lawsuit against cybersquatters - companies that buy misspelled variants of popular domain names, fill that page with Pay-Per-Click ads and then make huge profit from Internet traffic.For instance, if someone types delll.com by mistake instead of dell.com, he could land on a web page loaded only with advertisements and no content. And chances are very high that those ads are served by Google AdSense.
So indirectly, Google (and other companies like Sedo, GoDaddy) are helping cybersquatters stay in the game and remain very profitable at the same time. Did Dell ignore this fact in the lawsuit ?
Last year, someone registered the domain www.labnol.com and started mirroring our content. That site was pulled download after we served a DMCA notice to both the domain registrar and their web hosting company.
But now that site is back in the game - they were accepted into the AdSense for domains program and Google is serving ads on that site related to Technology and Software.
