How else can you read this ? I told them about it 4 days ago and it is still there, so here we go, lets see what the lawyers have to say 🙂 So, what am I talking about, go to Google, put Windows XP in the search box, depending when you do it, one of the sponsored links will be :
Download Windows XP
Full Version of Windows XP
Free to Download – Join Now!
www.fullsoftwaredownload.com
So, my understanding of a sponsored link is someone paid to put this here, and someone from Google should have checked to see what exactly they were linking to (well you would think so wouldn’t you)
So, if you go to this site www.fullsoftwaredownload.com you find that

Downloading from multiple sources cuts your download times from hours to minutes. We provide you access to the fastest and most reliable file-trading network online.
So, you have this big banner along the top saying “ Free Windows XP Download – Join Now!” so you go to Join Now and guess what ! It’s not free, what a bunch a wankers (thats Australian for you play with a certain part of your anatomy too mch)

So, these guys don’t actually have anything, they are going to show you how to use freely available tools to find what you want , wow. Again, what a bunch of wankers.
And best of all, Google apparantly takes money from these wankers to “feauture” their link. Image below just in case they pull it while I am asleep.
PS: While no laws are being broken here by anyone (Google or FullDownloadSoftware), I really don’t think that Google should link to trash web sites like this, whats next, sponsored porn links ??
