Hey guys, I wonder what happened? I do not have any viruses and it's been checked now with multiple people at multiple locations. When for example you put "porn" in search it will display Sponsored Ads look below: What is happening did they start allowing it or they got hacked? We checked it in different browsers and Mac OS.
a quick search says that adult ads are restricted, but not banned outright ... seems it's been happening for a while too ... e.g http://www.webmasterworld.com/google_adsense/3201816.htm
It only appears if your live in US. If you dont live in United States. Search for porn on Google on a web proxy and it will appear.
True. When I checked the google, I didn't get any sponsored result for the term "porn" while using the proxy, it throws up a sponsored result. Google is clever in targeting people of specific countries...
I've never seen a site with Google Ads displaying links to porn besides on the main Google Search. I wonder if Publishers even have the ability to display these porn ads through Google.
lol, not really I was pointed to that. I probably need to write Google and ask them what is that they are doing.
It makes sense...I mean it is the "LARGEST" cash making industry on the web....why wouldnt Google cash in on it.
Just what I was thinking... because that would be brilliant if we could. I'd be earning a lot! However I don't really think they'd let us. We can only hope.
