I would expect Google would take off such a site from its search engines. That is big time scam. especially using DailyMail for it.

I believe that once they get caught, they could get into serious legal trouble with the daily mail. You can’t just pretend your organisation is something completely else (especially faking one of “the big ones” like daily mail). This is probably why google should do some more checking on ads once they go live. Quite sure the ads is gone by now though, but still they had their time and I am certain a lot of people visited their scam site.

Do you think these sort of scams are very profitable? For instance wouldn’t google just disable their account quite quickly? Also how were they monetizing this? Is it some sort of CPA offer?

I would have thought this was highly illegal. I don’t really understand how they can have got away with it but then as a web marketer, you kind of have to admire them ;-)
