Adwords: No Taxation Without Participation
Mid June 2007. Google Slaps again. This time, it’s affiliate marketers on Adwords.
As per Google’s unwritten policy, there is no warning and no explanation.
“You’ve done something wrong. You’ve been doing it for some time. Just today, we’ve decided to inflict severe penalties on your campaigns. We haven’t emailed you because actions speak louder than words, and when you log into your account, you’ll be hard pressed to miss the fact we’ve multiplied your advertising costs by 20.”
Now have fun guessing what the problem is.

It’s estimated that nearly $1.9 Trillion are traded daily on the world’s largest market: FOREX.
An entire industry exists to exploit the spread between one currency and another. This may be the most poignant example of Arbitrage of them all.
