Collections via Search Engine Ad

So you are having trouble getting paid by a client or two. They won't return your calls, they wont answer your emails, faxes or letters. What do you do? Well, of course you can send out a letter from your lawyer, but your a search guy - aren't you?

One search guy wants to pay for a PPC ad, when someone types in the defunct company's name into a search engine, up comes....

Company XYZ
Please pay outstanding invoice
#1234, which is 31 past due.

Cute idea, but will it be affective? Are there any legal repercussions? Forum discussion at Search Engine Watch Forums.
