As far as exploits go, it's in their best interest to patch this up ASAP and I'm surprised it hasn't come up sooner.

Sometimes the only way to pressure a company into fixing something is to talk about it. If people start doing this on a large scale, the value to their advertisers will drop through the floor. They can’t let that happen.

Unless they are planning on riding the receding wave of selling text link ads. Then they may just say oh well and let it fly. Who knows…

I don't know why but I find that quite funny (the haha kind not the strange kind).
