Objectionable advertising
Hi folks, I get complaints by email, and some posted here on the forum about why a specific ad is allowed here, and that some of these ads are objectionable.
Before you complain, you need to know a few thing that may help us prevent such ads:
1. We currently run Google ads alone. If you see any popups, those are not from our site, and are installed on your computer through spyware/adware, usually installed through downloaded software and some P2P file sharing tools, or some internet "accelerators" software among other "free" software.
2. Assuming your complaint is about a specific ad from Google, we need you to tell us what that ad was. These ads depend on which pages you are viewing, and in which location you reside. I happen to be in Canada, and most of the ads mentioned in those complaints are not visible to me. What someone sees while connecting from Colorado, is not the same as in L.A., or the U.K. etc.
3. We do have the ability to block specific advertisers through Google. But we need to know which ads are in question. So to help us block any objectionable ads, please provide the folloing:
A.. The name of the advertiser, company name, product name and/or the text of the Ad.
B. The link (URL) of the Ad. Simply right click over the Ad, and select "copy shortcut" or "copy link location" (depending on your browser, and paste that link in a post here in the comments box. If you post elsewhere, I may not see it.
C. Explain what you find objectionable in that ad (sexual content, illegal supplements, deceptive/scam products etc.)
Wa'il
