    I don't know if it is deliberate or a mistake that ebay.co.uk are paying for adverts for recalled toys - looks like ebay.com doesn't let ads come up for recalled toys.

    They pay for the add to appear when someone seaqrches for "toys" plus any other words, but also supply a list of words they don't want their ads to appears for. i.e. if someone searches for "any word" and "Toys" except if "any Word" is s*x, adult, fake, etc.

    They simple didn't think to add the word "recalled" to the list. Didn't think to add the word "bedroom" either.

    Google "Any Old Cr4p" or "Thai Bride" and guess what else you can find eBay.


    A simple lesson in Adwords Keyword Strategy could have saved the OP from embarrassment.
