For what its worth, companies probably DO look into this, but people who are bidding on the "leather belt" keyword are outpaying those companies in adjacent products.

At the end of the day, advertising space is auction based and if the belt companies want to bid the highest for that space, they win.

That would be a really interesting example of market failure, as it suggests if the leather-belt companies pay less, they would get more business.
