Brought to you from one of the comments in my blog.

Google for "Stefan Esser" and get a sponsored link for Zend.

Update: It seems for now their budget is gone. My name is free again.

@Anon.
I think you miss the point. Why has Zend bought the key words "Stefan Esser" and associated it with PHP5 certification.... it implies a relationship between the two that no longer (if it ever did) exists.

Stefan, unless you have tm'd the name then you may have a hard time getting the ad removed. Think of it as a compliment

It seems this is the work of a SEO company.

Atleast the google ad links are redirecting through this company.

That's pretty funny, but very common.

Ebay buys random often searched for keywords and usually it bites them in the ass:
