Oopps…Not In Front of Google!

So, I was at Search Engine Strategies in New York at a contextual advertising session when something very funny happened…to me at least.
They were asking volunteers to show their sites on the big screen monitor to critique their sites and how they are using adsene to monetize their content/site. One man volunteered.
This story is what NOT TO DO at a search conference or think before you do, at least read the guidelines.
This guy had a content site reviewing prescription drugs which apparently, I didnt know but it is known, is against the Google Adsense guidelines.
Who was on the panel? GOOGLE. It was kind of an akward moment to be honest and of course the guy from Google (MAYBE), jotted the site down.
Anyway, it’s a lesson…Hours of work probably for nothing. I wonder if Google would have found the site and how they go about chasing down sites that don’t follow the guidelines.
