Im convinced. Google has lost its mind

    I mean, really.......my gaming site was just to get the right adverts from them, I was, dare I say it, getting relieved. Then what do they do?

    Start showing love ads with "the love button - push me hard" on it, some love compatibility calculator making my site just look dingy. If anything its damaged my site rather than build it.

    Is there a place I can complain about this?

    These are picture ads, so I cannot use that preview tool since I am not allowed to click them correct? Thing is the text ads I see can be displyed through the previewer are perfect, its this pic ads that suck...

    I do use my competitive ad filter. What gets me is that just yesterday it had relevant picture ads for my site, where did they all go ? Some of my visitors are 14, 15 looking through some game walkthroughs, I dont really want them to be seeing "Love this, love that.....Push hard" etc on my site, just sends out the wrong impression to them.

    True. But since AdSense is a contextual program, then you have keywords that advertisers are using to advertise on. Only way is to make sure you check out your site and make sure things are running smoothly.

    That's where I spend a majority of my time/day. I check up on sites every hour make sure things are going good and the ads are fine. If you don't want the ad, only way is through competitive ad filter. Max is 200 sites.

    Im sure I will get to 200 real quick at this rate. So if I take a site out of the filter it has the right to comeback right? Also, if I use the sanbox and click through there onto the picture ad to see its url is there any TOS i am breaking?

    Yep. If it's not on the filter, then it can show up. To get the url, just right click>Properties>Look at the URL.

    You need to scroll it to the right (by highlighting) to get the URL, but it's in there in the middle of all the gibberish.

    I totally agree with you. The competitive filter will help you manage your allowed Ads. From there you can also filter and just allow the highest paying Ads and limit or block the low paying Ads.

    Just use Ad filter in the adsense manager. there you can block different kind of ads,

    try its easy, rather mailing google and waiting for months.

    Good Luck:)

    These Love buttons seem to just be targetting all kind of sites!

    Could they be CPM ads?

    Google grow so much, that it is getting more difficult to control and give customers quality. But stock worth 700 dolllars. There is something to think about it.

    If you think it is an image ad then just opt for text ad while choosing the setup

    The love calulator has been around forever now. If you use Adbrite you'll see this everywhere,
    Its a Affiliate driven ads. So its run by alot of 3rd parties. They get people to put there name in it.
    Then they are taking to a landing page and put there Mobile number in there and Bam. They just made $1 or something.

    You'll have a hard time blocking thies types of ads becuase tons of advertisers will be using a whole bunch of different urls.
    (with there affiliate links in them). For example if you look at myspace sites, there just awash in those "WEbfetti" ads. there impossible to get rid of. 200 competive urls in the ad filter is not enough!
