"Think Google will not do it? The last time I read their terms and conditions, there is nowhere that it says they cant do this. They will make oral statements saying things like “If we did that we would lose the trust of our advertisers and go out of business”, but they have refused to put that in writing in any way, shape or form. In other words, they can do it."<p>Except that they won't, because what they say is actually true. For Google the money is in large numbers of advertisers, not in small numbers of affiliate clicks. This post makes no sense at all.
