Fred, you really need to get onto adwords

Typing in Purebasic on Google brings an advert for Ibasic, but nothing for Purebasic itself.

This is perfectly legal:

Only because some judge in the US said so doesn't make this legal behaviour in every country. Also it was IMHO the wrong way to sue Google for that, better would have been to sue the rivaling company directly.

But surely anyone who's actually searching for Purebasic will be wanting to know about Purebasic, and will click on the first google result (the PB homepage) rather than a link to something else. If someone typed 'BASIC programming' or something then I can see that a Purebasic advert would be handy. But there's no need to improve product awareness for people who already know about the product. Worst case, the person who was looking for PB sees the advert and looks at that website too, then has to make a decision between the two products, based on what features they need and so on.
