    equivalent of the corner dealer selling nickle bags.

    In blighty, i think you mean a "henry".

    Or a Q, or Half..

    For the benefit of those that dont know, a henry is an 1/8th of an ounce, a Q a quarter of an ounce and half, well, come on...Wakey wakey.

    Just how much is a "nickle bag" in quantity and $????

      A Q?

      Never heard that. At all.

      Kids round here deal in grams anyway, so it'd be a 7bag.

    "Just how much is a "nickle bag" in quantity and $????"

    Dunno i wondered that too, maybe its the size of bag kiddies used to get filled with sweeties , or candy in the US . Now available filled with narcotic of your choice for conderably more.

    In fact thinking about it this transaction occurs at the start of "jay and silenty bob strike back" , and the bag costs $15

    now my question :)

    Why do americans use the word "penny" , as dollars are divided into cents?

    Seems Trivial For...

    ...Google to send out a stealth bot. Triggered, perhaps, by non-word search terms.

    Affilliate code is so easy to spot that a human could do it; should a breeze for googlebot.

    No power otherwise

    "The account suggests that Google is going after the lowest level offenders, the narcotics equivalent of the corner dealer selling nickle bags."

    That's because the higher-ups are operating outside the US or using 'bulletproof' hosting to get away with it, so those takedown notices sent by Google get laughed at. Also, they're probably poisoning the search results to include their wares, exploiting the flaws in the Google search algorithm that's been a game of cat-and-mouse since day 1.

    but our lawyers are awesome. So, either you stop exploiting the buggy loopholes in our software or we are gonna sue you!

    Yeah.... that sounds like Google.
