Default Random words linked... why?

Why are seemingly random words linked to non-associated URL's? How can I turn that off... it is very annoying.

The hot-linked words are Google Ad-words if I remember correctly. They're pretty common on a lot of forums and websites as a means of paying for the sites, servers, etc.

The only way to turn them off is to become a Premier Member

I prefer to use NoScript and mark intellitxt.com and googlesyndication.com as untrusted as this helps to hide 90% of the ads and it works on all sites.

All I AdBlock is
