Hi guys,

I dont know what google's policy is on this or whatever, but i accidentally searched for smugmug.com instead of sticking it into the address bar. Anyway, i was surprised to see smugmug.com as an adword specifically for snapfish. Seemed a little uncool to me. though if it isnt a problem, whatever

It's not uncommon at all, companies do that. They bid on the word....

meh - may be common, but I think it's pretty uncool to use a competitior's name to bring people to your site. :wxwax
