According to Bradley, after the HTML codes were placed on www.bravecorp.com. She asked Google to remove several competing AdSense advertisements.

Well they need that $250,000 to get a better site! I find it hard to believe though because it said clearly in the TOS that you are not allowed to click on your own ads no matter what.
