Google AdWords

I e-mailed Google about concern over their AdWords -- got this response:

So, if you search for "distance learning" on Google, the top Adword is

So what's the problem? They just want you to pay them up front before they tell you what school you're dealing with. Oh, and they only award the Doctor of Medicine to "suitable candidates," so you know there's some quality control going on. Plus, they'll give you your deposit back if you don't like the school. Who could ask for anything more?

The "Switzerland of Central America" includes snow, skiing and all!

Their e-mail response stated that the school in question was the University of Costa Rica!

I wonder if I can get a discount on transcripts as well ???

It seems to be a quick degree programme offering degrees in 3-4 weeks after they receive your money and application (in that order I assume)

And service-- they will date the degree as you want it. hmmm Ph.D. 1975 ya- that's the ticket.

They also offer second passports for those who need them (very handy for Diploma Mill operators)

Well I guess I'll remove google from my list of search engines.

It is especially depressing that Google, started by some senior academics at Stanford, has no concern about accepting paid ads from a degree-selling service that even will consider medical degrees.

 

Well following their very strict standards not everyone can get a "Doctor of Medicine" it states

NOTE: Doctor of Medicine is available only to suitable applicants, please inquire separately with your credentials.

I suspect the suitable applicants are those who can pay the extra ink charge for the degree.
