This is what you get when you try to take short cuts. Software generated copy. All the pages say the same thing but with a different product name. The supplier must concentrate on healthcare products, but sells a few other things as well.

Eileen,

I got a good hearty laugh out of this one!

Might be a perfect gift for great-great Aunt Estelle, who's got that mildewy smell..

Hi Eileen,

This is a machine generated wenbsite used to generate traffic for
Google Adsense program. It's not intended to be readable for humans
beyond the adsense ad blocks.

The owner of this website knows this and really don't care how the
site reads once people click on the Adsense ads. So don't take this
one too seriously!


Regards,

Ray L.,

The owner has made the mistake of linking his sites. The moment one of Googles "real people" finds any one of his network of ads, the adsense topics mysteriously will become non-relevant. And they all have a footprint the size of rhode-island so it won't be long. Ever see a wealthy kid whimper?

Actually anyone finding such spam can just click on the "Ads by Gooooogle" and fill out a report on the site.
