Inappropriate ads?
« on: March 28, 2013 »

Perhaps Google's customising the ads for me (in that case I'll delete this post, delete my browsing history, install tor and say no more about it  :o )...but I just had these lovely ladies presented to me...

Ah damn you google! It tends usually to show me outdoor ads - and the occasional one for boiler servicing

Sounds lovely, are you there for the night or just day?
The ads are personalised but Google is notorious for being a bit random. Site owners can't control what is shown.

Are you sure you haven't been browsing in your sleep ;-)

I'm pretty banner blind so interestingly its only the inappropriate ones I tend to notice. Really must buy a boiler just so I can service it

Just the day...but you know that may change (see other post). :D

Adsence does allows you to blacklist general categories as well as what they call "Sensitive categories" (dating, weight loss, politics, etc)  of ads that are displayed, as well as blacklist named advertisers...I've had to do that on one or two of the site I've ran....saying all that Mr Admin may not want to lose the clicks if people are now looking for the  advert in question :)

Yup, I use ad block as well, but I know that it pays the bills (hmm perhaps not..but it gives them a couple of pennies), so for sites I use regularly I whitelist them and give a random ad a click.
