Should I answer this job ad? I think I could do the work, and it is Google--but it's advertising.

Yes, you should absolutely go for it. Google have the best advertising of any website -- targeted, text based ads that are directly relevant to search criteria and often geographically based too.

I often find what I'm after, especially when shopping, by clicking on text ads in Google -- because if I'm searching for, say, a deedlefutz, then UK deedlefutz retailers often buy the word 'deedlefutz', but only for UK searches. So the text ad gives me what I want without having to trawl through all the US sites.

There is nothing inherently bad about advertising; it's a major way to find out interesting stuff.
