    "The FBI announced Wednesday that--working closely with law enforcement
    agencies in Estonia and the Netherlands--it had executed the takedown of the
    DNS Changer botnet, which it said was used to fraudulently generate at least
    $14 million through click fraud and other fraudulent techniques.

    This will impact on Google as well.

    This is how Google makes their money.

    Click-fraud is google's dirty little secret that they don't want you to
    know about.

    When I click on a Google result link it doesn't take me direct to the page.
    It send me back to Google who then redirects me. They must have logged me.

    Google is a safe haven for spammers and other sociopaths.
