Think about it.

If I approached you and said:

"Hey I'll let you display my ads on your site and everytime somebody clicks one, I'll give you a percentage"

Well, your first two questions are going to be "how much are you making on the ads?" and "what's my percentage?"

Google won't cough up any numbers in either regard.

Yet people don't seem to care at all and will line up for Google to pay them SOME percentage of WHATEVER...

I can't think of any other business model or climate where this phenomenon is repeated.

It's amazing.
I’ve not thought about that but it is funny.

And they really go a lot further then that by saying your site has to work within our guidelines and if we decided you have broken any of the rules then we will keep all the money in your account and close the account down.

At that point we will also ignore all your emails and want talk to you anymore about it.

I’ve seen a lot of forum posting talking about how Google will shut your account down.
