    I was looking through the google adverts on my blog and realised that one of them was entitled Perlico Telecom, yet it was an eircom advert which linked to their site...surely this is against google's advertising policy! Does anyone know where I can report this?

    Do you have a picture of the ad? What exactly did it say? Perlico themselves are not averse to running ads saying things like "Attention Eircom Customers" and using the Eircom colours. Could this be the same, in reverse?
