And how Google allowed it to pass all of its checks when “Dunnes Stores” was spelled wrong. The most basic thing we ask customers to look at is the name of the website. The site may have all of the relevant branding, but a letter could be missing from the name. Where this example is concerned, though, Google accepted the money, put the money into its bank account and posted the add as the No. 1 hit. How did Google’s checks miss a basic thing like that?
