I’ve since wondered why they chose not to give it to me and where exactly people are advertising at. Makes you wonder!

I’ll add my $0.02 to the article by pointing out that someone has to have the RedZee toolbar (adware) in order to see the ads on MSN, Yahoo, Google and even other places that the people at RedZee can specify.

After all I know from some of the responses I have gotten from this article that many unsuspecting businesses have been pulled into this service; so there is no reason Google would target them. <br/><br/>But I would definitely be walking softly if I were RedZee; Google is more likely to go to the source with any issues they have.
