Ja klar, da hätte ich auch eher drauf kommen können: Einfach schnell einen "kostenlosen" Service anbieten, so wie der Herr Marco Krüger aus Stuttgart, und dann durch die Nutzerzahlen abkassieren. "Foren-City.de" ist sein Service. Dieser bietet kostenlose Foren an und der werte Herr verdient ja offensichtlich trotzdem Geld. Über Firefox-Downloads via Google. Der Titel seiner Anzeige ist "MozilIa Fire|Fox Download". Wer genauer hinschaut erkennt, dass da nicht alle Buchstaben so sind wie sie sein sollten. Für mich ganz klar ein weiterer Fall für die Kategorie SCHWEINEREI! Warum er nicht einfach nur "normale" Google-Anzeigen anzeigt versteh ich nicht.
PS: Da der gute Mann so wahnsinnig einfallsreich ist, sind nicht mal die Bilder von ihm sondern von Photocase - na dann...

I just a google ad for the version 2.1 of Mozilla Firefox which made me curious because the version 3 has not even been officially released yet. The click on the ad brought me to www.Firefoxlii.de where some features are described and a litte comparison to IE is given (in German). Then I clicked on the "download link" (by webmasterplan), and came to the eBay download page for FF. Of course, I neither found the advertised version 3.1 of FF, nor the google pack, but just the version 1.5 with eBay extension.
Owner of the jump website is a comapny called "Marketing Innovation Ltd." from Great Britain and the email address is a spam blocker from Bluebottle.
Let's sum this up for better understanding: somebody pays for google ads to generate traffic to his own website. There he earns money with the download of a FREE external product. Strange world!
