If you search on Google to find atomic wallet, the first result you will get is this phishing website. Then the newcomers here may think the website is real which can have bad results. I am giving the search result here, you can try it yourself also.

I googled search it, I was unable to see it, but I know you are right, I searched for their domain, it was exactly what you posted above.
So, this is more than an evidence. This was registered not long ago, it was even today this website was registred, all they could claim is to be real atomic wallet. They are really fake and scam.

Someone already posted it in the Scam Accusations board, [Scam]: Fake Atomic wallet thru Google Ads.

That's another url link. Scammers use domain names so subtly. If you don't look at it properly, you can't understand that it is a fake website. I searched before I posted this to see if it had already been posted.

[Scam]: Fake Atomic wallet thru Google Ads.


And the url of this website. There is a difference here and if you want to catch this difference you have to look carefully.

Personally I don't find fluidity that Google search has anywhere else (yeah, I know I give data for this 'convenience'), if you are anything like me then best bet would be to use an ad blocker or never ever trust any ad.

I never paid any attention at all to Google Ads, but now I browse them with curiosity to see the fake sites and join the investment club for 250$ type scams that are no longer infrequent to see placed as Ads, especially if searching for anything crypto related. It would be interesting to see some sort of stat on fake sites on Google Ads per industry. I bet crypto is the leading one …

The particular case in the OP has the additional (dis)advantage of also trapping those that type the URL and inadvertely swap a few letters in the process.

I tend to think that Google should at least create some sort of reputational distinguishable visual cue in their Ads, to distinguish between newcomers and consolidated advertisers (i.e. some colour guide on the term "Ad" to hint this, and display information on the Advertiser when clicked or similar).

Fluidity and convenience usually comes at a price, reason why lots of crypto users patronize custodial wallets to avoid taking responsibility. As you said, you trade your data for this convenience, but data is a broad space and ranges from browsing history to really sensitive information which you would not want a third party storing.
Using an ad blocker is very good practice, you could also use Searx to anonymously visit other search engines like Google, and it returns the result to you.

Both ads and organic activity are different. You can get your website in top of 1st page if you bid the highest regardless of whatever activity you have in your website while to be ranked in #1 in google search, you have to be very unique and lots of back link etc. Ads have no connection with visits, mentioned as you said above.

First, they are after money. 2nd, they barely have time to check all the advertisers manually. So, yeah you can promote any shit you want to but you can also report any ads you want to.

Don't use google for a searching kind of wallet. Not only atomic but another fake wallet already on google ads, like exodus



I don't use google anymore. I use duck duck go for searching and there are no ads also, where what I want on the top result.
