You can sit back and wait. In a few days, when very few people have clicked on his ad, he may get discouraged and pause his AdWords campaign. At that point, your ads -- or the ads of one of your smarter affiliates -- will start running again. Take comfort in the fact that your excellent sales letter is still backing up that bad AdWords ad, so if anyone does click on it, your letter will magnetically draw them toward the "Buy" button. 3. You may find, to your surprise, that Google is still running your ads at least part of the time, even though you have bid less than your affiliate. Why does this happen?
