They could start arbitraging into second tier networks, like FindWhat or LookSmart. But it's unlikely that this will actually work in practice. The bids in those networks are too low.
Another way of doing it (and that's how some arbitragers are structuring it even now) is to have two or more separate companies, with different billing addresses and access respective Google accounts using different IPs.

The company's business model had nothing to do with domain squatting. It is enough to have a single domain to do huge amounts arbitrage. Or should I say "it was enough". :)
By the way, there still is a number of smaller companies doing Google->Yahoo arbitrage with Yahoo's quiet approval.

Not any time soon. Domain traffic converts well for many advertisers.

Yes. I've been to 6 three-star places over the last few years, but FL takes the cake.

There's only one three star joint on the west coast and while it's not far from Mountain View, it's definitely not Google's cafeteria. :)

AFAIK Google trends normalizes to total search volume. Therefore, it probably means that more and more people who use Google don't care about programming languages.

Next time they will not link directly to you but redirect through something. Or simply copy-and-paste your content into the job description. It's a waste of time trying to fight this...

I don't see why this would be much better than simply doing fuzzy match on a trie.

Either I misunderstand something (which is unlikely in this case), or his formula for CPM is wrong.
Correct: CPM = Clickthrough Rate x Price Per Click x 1000
Example: If you have CTR or 2% and each click generates $0.40, you have CPM of 0.40 x 0.02 x 1000 = $8.
