Is it OK for pay-per-click graphic adverts to show phone numbers and web addresses? Report abuse

I'm showing Google pay-per-click adverts, which I get paid per click on the advert.

Why do some adverts show other calls-to-action that bypass the pay-per-click? This means I'm putting adverts up for FREE!

Here is an example of one from www.aerilforce.co.uk

Showing CALL 0800 121 4181

I think I should get paid for displaying such adverts.

My understanding is that putting phone numbers in ads is within the AdWords rules. You might be interested in this previous thread:
