Thanks, Sam! For the record, we should be buying on a larger list of competitor than this. I don't think that buying ads on competitor's names is unethical... using their names in ad copy is wrong, however. My market research indicated that lots of people are using company names at the early stages of research into the space. Even though click-through is sparse, it is an important brand awareness campaign.
