Misleading SimpleFeed Ad
So, this "item" shows up in my Feedster result feed for FeedBurner:
That seems pretty slimy to me. I have no issue with these SimpleFeed people buying the "Feedburner" adword ... in fact, that's kind of flattering. But to have "Feedburner" displayed within the item itself is misleading, and I hope people don't get the impression that we have anything to do with them.
Harrumph!

Hi Eric,
I agree. It is not right. This is an Overture Adv. Don't know why it is on Feedster or why it says FeedBurner. Our Ad does not include Feedburner, I guess Overture or Feedster inserted it automatically. I turned off the keyword to end any confusion.
But don't get too flattered. Overture makes you spend $20 a month, so we buy dozens of keywords to use up the budget. We bought the word as we have some technology commonality, but we are addressing different markets.
