Scandalous and/or Misleading Ads are No Longer Welcome Here
After several people including family have commented on the types of Google ads on my site and have requested that I try and filter out the bad ones, I have agreed to finally take action.
Just to make things clear, the Google ads that appear on my site are automatically generated by Google. This is the way Adsense works. Once you apply to the Google Adsense program and your website or blog is accepted all that is required of you to get advertising on your site is to copy the Adsense code provided to you by Google and simply paste it where you want it in your template files.
I’m happy to say that the first Ad that got the boot from my site was from Dannys-scam-review.com. This was an easy decision as I already have reviewed the site and determined that his sales page was scandalous. From now on, to help filter out the non recommended products/websites in cyberspace, I will be posting periodically the different ads that have been removed from my site.
The benefit will be twofold: 1. new visitors to this blog will see that I don’t tolerate misleading or scandalous advertisements and 2. The posts will provide people with a quick review of products/sites to avoid.
Danny’s scammy ad was appearing regularly on my site. It was almost always visible on my Danny’s Scam Review post page. Well now its gone.
Here are screenshots before the ad was removed and after.
Another ad that got the boot was for Work-at-home-picks.com. I presented a post on that website as well after reviewing Dannys Scam.
If there are any ads on this site that you feel should be removed kindly let me know. Just keep in mind that it can take up to three hours for Google to implement the ad filter.
I have a feeling the Ads in the second screenshot are going to get the boot as well. I guess the words “honest” and “legitimate” don’t mean the same thing in cyberspace as they do in the real world.

I had the same type of problem with adsense. I have a few blogs and one of them is for kids. I almost fell over when they had super sexy image ads for jewellery on that site. They say that they provide relevant ads to your content… whatever. It would be really great if we could choose what ads we wanted to display.
Hi Ari,
you asked for a link exchange with me via mybloglog. I would be happy to exchange links with you but I have two sites and I don’t know which one you want to exchange links with. I entered the URL for my mybloglog page where you can see the two sites. If you could clarify which you want to exchange links with I would be very grateful.
I see you don’t have a blogroll… I am wondering where would the link to my site go? If it is going to be in the sidebar I would be happy to exchange links with you for both my sites!
keep up the great blog,
Matt
Hi Christy, Being able to choose the ads would be be great. They should offer you the ability to pick the type of relevant ads from specific categories so you can avoid categories that would contain a large number of scandalous ones.
Matt, I’ll send you a message via MyBlogLog as to where I would like my lin to appear. As for the blogroll, it’s on the main index page of the blog but I will add it to the post pages as well.
