Sorry, but I really do not understand what you are talking about. Where would that be ?
Google adlinks, e.g. at the top of my Gmail whenever I've looked at something about Wikipedia. They have a pile of "Related links" which you click on, which takes you to another page of "related links" with the word "Wikipedia" in, which takes you to ads with nothing to do with Wikipedia. That is, Google is using the name to lure people into clicking on the ads.
It certainly worked on me the first few times, now I'm just increasingly annoyed by it. Thus proving even text ads have to fulfill the promise of relevance when you click on them ...
