Whats up with this Adsense Ad? "Block Youtube" taking over ads

Check this out, its under my toolbar on noheat.com

 

Wow, thats a bit strange...

 

I so want to click on it to find out who is screwing up my ads today. I assume someone is going to be getting banned from showing ads on Adwords but this is really screwing up my revenue for today. Anyone know who I can report this to? Any Adsense people here?

 

Hmm, i would click on it and tell you but now all i see is the 'see more ads about' advert :/

 

I still have the "block youtube" BS. I went to another page and saw the "see more advertisements". Seems like google would have protection against this.

 

I noticed that too with mine. What's going on

 

You can just filter out their url in "competitive ad filter" (I believe that's what adsense calls it.)

 

The result is for search term Forgettencreature, so you just get a list of sites when you click it - I don't think that can be blocked...

Just email AdSense!

 

Alright now its "Grammar in use", surely and I am not calling you Shirley, someone cannot take up an entire 728 X 15 link unit? Before it was &%$@ using RSS to get a click now people have to take over the whole thing so it REALLY looks like an ad. Emailing Google this is BS.

 

Good luck emailing Google mate!

 

I'm in canada, and im not seeing that at all...

Must be geo targeting somewhere?

 

Personally, I am seeing ad's about web hosting, and setting up a blog...

 

Looks like whatever it was is now fixed what a pain.

 

thanks buddy i will check it

Software my Gaming Blog

 

Haha don't even bother trying to email Google. Their first level of customer reps just keep pushing back on you like any other big company would.

 

So, how many visitors did you get from this thread? Nice move.

 

I wonder if someone is buying ads to promote the anti-youtube, or boycott youtube movement? There are a lot of people that are mad at youtube for filtering certain types of videos. Examples - Youtube.co.uk has started removing firearms videos, youtube in general is removing hunting videos saying they show cruelty to animals, youtube removes political videos that glorify nazi germany.

If enough people flag a video, for whatever reason - even if the reason is not valid - youtube will remove the video. Special interest groups target certain publishers, report their videos over and over until the videos are removed. Its a type of bullying.

I personally have had a couple of videos flagged for no reason. Probably because I made some people mad. One of my hunting videos was removed and I received a warning. I found out later that animal rights groups were team tagging and reporting hunting videos as cruelty to animals. The animal rights groups would post a link to a youtube video and ask their members to report the video until it was removed. And so far its working. Youtube is bowing to the pressure put on them by small special interest groups.

Because of the political censorship, and bullying by special interest groups, angry youtube members are going to places like metacafe, dailymotion, break,,,,, and asking people to boycott youtube.

So I am going to guess that its gotten to the point where people are buying ads to promote the block - ignore - boycott youtube campaign.

 

in my opinion the best thing you should do is to mail google with your problem
good luck

 

Many organizations, universities, schools etc want to block Youtube, orkut, facebook or any other such websites which they think are only time waste and students & employee's waste their time on these websites rather then giving attention to work or studies.
I think this add is to promote a similar service so one can ban youtube in the organization and no one can access it from there..

 

Yip.

It's just an ad for a service. No big deal...
