Title: Google ads
Post by: yossarian on November 01, 2013, 11:29:34 am

Some of the ads displayed are pretty questionable -- dodgy forex trading sites, binary options etc.  I think you can blacklist certain ads or categories of ads through Google....  Might be worth looking at.

Blocking trading sites might be counter productive, but I can block by URL. Let's make this thread the dodgy URL blocking thread. Add your suggestions below.

Ps, all my ads have been Satrix lately, they're preaching to the choir  :D

Edit: Just don't click on the ad to get the URL, google get's very upset by that! You should be able to get it from looking at the ad itself.

"Bank de binary -- 60 seconds to make 91% profit.  Blah blah blah."

I don't really thing the url is going to help you is it?  I noticed on another site that the admin culled several undesirable ads without the users posting their urls.

Note: I added a couple of spaces to the url to make it non-clickable.

"iForex -- I made 2100% profit in 1 month...."

Sadly, these particular adds make it look like your site is trawling for the gullible.  I know that's not the case but it does look a bit dodgy.
