It's fair enough limiting the type of websites you can link to, but in my opinion it's wrong to limit the words (barring swear words and the like of course, there's good ground for that).

If they are providing a service whereby they provide advice/support on Google products, then their use of Google in the ad copy is basically permitted. However, you are right that the way the headline reads, it gives you the impression that you are contacting Google's tech support people, not a third party providing tech support about Google. So this ad will probably be flagged sooner or later. Google’s new trademark policy allows for the use of trademark terms in the ad copy.
