		<description>Interesting article - Geoff I&#039;d noticed this too.  Sometimes it can be really frustrating working with a client who sells products for trademarked brands.  This is definitely a good way around it for my clients.  However for the brand it must be pretty irritating that there is such a loophole.</description>

		<description>There are some very sneaky people out there. Thanks for such an interesting post - I&#039;ll be sure to keep an eye out if we ever deal with affiliates.</description>

		<description>Interesting post. Not had much dealings with affiliates but will look out for this if I ever start.

With regards to trademark issues. I think there is a loophole in Google&#039;s policy. Even if you have registered your trademark, Google will allow the display in the Display URL field. 

If the affiliate/competitor puts www.domain.com/trademark, Google will allow display of the ad despite not allowing the trademark term in the title or descriptive fields. I have made Google aware of this through the address you recommend but not seen an update at the time of writing this comment.</description>
