Google Serving Gay Porn?!?

Today I found some AdSense units linking to Gay porn, is this allowed?

They linked to http://promo.aebn.net/index.cfm and looked like:

 

Why wouldn't it be allowed? Google advertises all kinds of porn.

I'm assuming this was for search though?

 

No, it was for Content.

 

Is that true? Why does G Ads not allow adult content in my site?

 

Because Google has control over the way ads are shown on their search engine, while on the other hand they would be taking a risk allowing webmasters to display ads on sites with questionable content. (ie. your typical online flower shop doesn't want to be associated with a scat fetish forum)

 

Maybe 'that' site bought some ads in google for their site and then changed it's content to this which is not allowed.

 

I'm not up-to-date on all of Google's TOS, but I believe the following is essentially the rules:

Advertising adult sites on AdWords is allowed.
Publishing AdSense on an adult site is not allowed.

 

look..

'gay movie' doesn't has to be 'gay porn'

 

Did you even take time to check the link????!?!?

No? Ok.

 

so where they ads those adword porn, beside adsense? lol

 

so,, i can't see the link.. my country block that host. LOL

 

I have this on my proxy, and Its pissing me off. I dont want this kind of crap on my sites.

 

Put the website into your competitive ad filter.

But yeah, it's really stupid that Google allows adult material on Adwords when there are no adult sites using Adsense.

 

While this is the only way right now to solve this, I don't think this is efficient. I need to see the offensive ads myself before I can put them in the competitive ad filter. I run a blog that deals with scale modeling which is also being read by minors and they're presented with a bunch of porn ads? I hope AdSense will do something about this, say, in our AdSense control panel, we get to choose what ads to show, e.g., rated G, rated R, rated XXX, etc. This way, I'm sure I only get G-rated ads shown on my site.

Can I suggest this to Google? What do you think guys?


(I almost typed "gays", LOL! )

 

What site was the ad shown on?

 

If google is showing pornographic ads on sites, there needs to be another option other than the competitive ad filter. That isn't what the ad filter is for, and we cant be expected, as webmasters, to sit and watch ads all day and constantly copy and paste the links into notepad to see where they are going.

blocking porn should be as simple as "turning it off" within your account.

 

Like a proxy isn't a crap site?

What do you expect on a proxy?

 

I too saw this ad on a proxy site. I think its another April fool joke from Great G

 

Replace the word 'Gay' with the word 'Action' in that ad and does it equal porn? Just looks like a bad keyword in there.
