Note: Some of the sites I’ve blocked from my Google Ads

Posted on | January 8, 2010 | No Comments

I was never meant to keep Google Ads. I got them to test them out for someone else and got curious and left them up to see if one actually makes any money off them. (So far: no.) Every now and then an ad pops up in the sidebar that I immediately go and disable through the Adsense setup page.

The list so far includes dating and dieting sites. I want no dating, dieting or scam ads on my site, thank you very much. To be more exact, on the list there’s one site for men looking for disabled women (hello chasers) , one advertising rich women, one Chinese women, one Russian women, one “love advice”. And then there’s one diet site.

As the ads are regional, though, if you’re not in Belgium/Netherlands and keep seeing dating, dieting, or otherwise creepy sites advertised on the sidebar, please let me know – preferably not by typing out the full address because that’s just Googlejuice for the creeps, but calling it, say, “spammers r us dot net (without spaces)”.

And for heaven’s sake, don’t click on them!

Sorry about all this. I’ll probably get rid of the Google Ads at some point and remove the issue. I thought I’d give the experiment another month or so, first.
