1. Get kids to open AdWords accounts for you 2. Spend 100k on each on affiliate marketing. Even a non optimized campaign on a good offer is still going to bring in 5 figures 3. ?????? 4. Profit
They'd presumably be advertising your services though (not the kids website). Easier to establish fraud.

So, someone in Google's accounting department handled a mistake in a mature and responsible way. Good on them.

What happened to the original title? This one makes it sound like a bizarre forgery story.
I read the title as "spanish boy counterfeits a 100,000 Euro bill and tries to pay Google with it".
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not your services, affiliate marketing. Much harder to determine who got the payout.

In Austria, you are not contractually capable until you are 14, and from 14-18 you are so only in a limited fashion, as allowed by the assets available to you. Probably Spain has similar laws (age of majority is 18 in Spain), making the whole AdWords contract invalid. So there would not have been any way for Google to get the money. So this most likely wasn't anything 'charitable' done by Google, just the law. Nothin…
