Has anybody got some links which discuss that? Google are trying to
discourage experiments like the OP proposed and they do so by having you
sign and agree not to disclose figures about your profits. I don't think
they want their customers to eve make observations either, but it's no
exception to most businesses that are flexible when it comes to pricing.
People who complain about frauds, at extremity, make it appear as if
something is rotten in AdSense/Words and the reputation is already partially
ruined.
