If they were really doing this it'd probably be considered fraud.
Clicks need to be real and organic and placing something so a person accidentally clicks it intentionally when they sell the ads would be fraudulent.
But good luck proving it if so.
If you have a Gmail account with promotional emails, go into your promotional inbox and just mouse around a little bit near the top 10 emails. You'll most likely see it move the ads around
I have the promotional section and actual email from companies are there, but no ads from Google. Maybe it's not allowed in Canada?
Nice! Maybe so.
