<div dir="ltr">Google probably doesn't know the specifics. Domain.com would just be an affiliate getting paid on a CPA basis (the payout used to be $20 but that was without the coupon). What they're doing may or may not contravene their agreement with Google. Google may or may not care that they're spamming you with mail. Are they even breaking any laws?<div>

Re-reading some of the info brings back memories (I wonder if I kept<br>
that letter somewhere :-)<br>

While the <a href="http://domain.com" target="_blank">domain.com</a> mail-out of the google-sponsored ad-words is not<br>
enticing me to pay for renewal services, it is enticing me to pay $25 to<br>
get $100 worth of google-sponsored ad-words and is still slamming the<br>
domains by sending out unsolicited junk mail, as I've never dealt with<br>
<a href="http://domain.com" target="_blank">domain.com</a>.<br>
I am a bit surprised that google has associated itself with a company<br>
that does this type of marketing - that's my real surprise.<br>
