According to a WSJ report today. If true, this seems like huge news to me.

"The Journal reports that Google, attracted by the heavy traffic the sites were generating, assigned account representatives who suggested keywords they could bid on, including "bootleg movie download," "pirated," and "download harry potter movie."
Google (Charts) also offered Drury and Sample credit so they didn't have to use their credit cards to pay Google's fees, according to the report, although it isn't clear if the offer was accepted. And Google was paid $809,000 for ads placed by the two sites over the three-year period, according to the report."
The journal article told that these sites had $1.1 million in revenue and $809,000 in Google ad spend.
:eek:
