      Is it okay for a salesman to jump into your bed along with their 874 partners in exchange for selling you a newspaper?

        Or (being devil’s advocate here): just don’t be a fucking slut. Have like 3 partners and have ypur website pick the best offer dynamically, it’s not that hard. In the end they all use AdSense, so they don’t even need to give data to the other 873 or even Google itself - as you said ads don’t have to be targeted. Although it’s not as if it won’t get there anyway.
