How To Be Happy AdWords Experiment

After I read Michael Anthony's Free E-Book on How to be Happy and Have Fun Changing the World, and knowing that he invests in Google AdWords to share it to the world, I came out with an idea to do something similar to test out Google AdWords.

A summary of my AdWords result. (only enabled on Google-search network)

Added Google Search in Sidebar

The search results will be displayed on my own site. Although I am using the same stylesheet as my blog, I can't get the same style as the font size is smaller.

Sorry Google

As I am searching for something on Google, Google throws up this interesting We are Sorry page!

I wonder what algorithm are they using to interpret that my query looks like an automated request from a computer virus or spyware. I don't think they are using any timing checks since I am doing manual search! Hopefully, they don't start throwing more of these pages, otherwise, users may want to start using other alternative search engines! :)
