Hi Wayne, I'm saddened to hear about the way in which one person decided to abuse the system.  Now for a Google business virgin like me, can you explain (briefly) what "Adwords program" is?  I presume AdSense is a Google-offered "service" where Google puts up Amiga.org links on the right side of the page when people search for "Amiga"?

FWIW, I know a vegan woman with an internet hosting and site dev services... and if I'm understanding the business angle here (big if) Google now allows you to set a daily limit on how much you want to spend on ads.  This way if a jerk tries to bang on your banner-link (whatever) they eventually find that it stops working and give up.

Would this help you?

Also maybe if you pitched the story to The Register, or the AP, maybe Google would take notice.
