On sites that are parked I expect to see ads... thats not the deal. It is only sites that are really overloaded or advertising their competition. I don't get it.

If I went in Pizza Hut would I see ad's for Little Ceasars? or Dominos? No. So what sense does it make if I own a web design business and run ads for heritage web design and some other big spenders on google?
I totally agree with you. How can you run a successful business when you are sending your traffic to your competition... usually before they even get a chance to have a good look at your site!

Adsense is good for webpublisher sites that are information oriented, but if you're trying to sell a product or service your entire focus should be on converting your visitors to customers.
