Hey guys, I just had a complaint from a customer about an ad that appeared on my new computer help site. Here is the email I just sent to Google about it: --------------------------- Hello, I was notified by a customer visiting my computer-help site that on a Google Adsense ad, the webpage http://winantiviruspro.com/ or http://winantivirus.com/ appeared in the ad. There have been many complaints about that product, as it is actually a false product, and it loads malware onto your computer, instead of help it. Is there anyways I can have those sites listed above removed from my ads to not appear again? My computer-help site is http://www.cleancomputerhelp.com . My adsense email is "[inserted email here]". I can provided any additional information you may need. You can read about this products "fake appearance" here: http://malwarecomplaints.info/viewtopic.php?t=1009&highlight=&sid=6928d120ab489be3000ff58d40e920c6 Thank you, Patrick ----------------------------------------- This really makes me wonder, does Google really check the validity of these sites that go on the ads, or are all accepted? This is a big deal on my computer help site, because if customers begin to get malware from products they find on the ads, that could destroy the reputation it is building. What do you all think about this? I'd really like to hear some discussion on this matter. Thanks Patrick
You should filter them out so they don't show up on your website ads - https://www.google.com/adsense/urlfilter
another case of buyer beware - just because there is an ad for something doesn't mean that the advertiser tried it out themselves.
You should also have a look at the Adsense preview tool at https://www.google.com/adsense/previewtool this allows you to see what ads will appear on your website from different countries around the world. This will allow you to identify offending Ads. Also allows you to change ad colours etc and see the result on your website as a preview - very useful tool to have.
