    Reuters reports that the Dutch farmer dating site has lost their court case in Amsterdam. The judge ruled that the keywords "farm" and "date" were too general. When Farm Date's owner issued the complaint, they did so because ads come up for sex and pornographic sites, which they claim is "very damaging for Farmdate's reputation."

    What? They are trying (tried) to sue G because sex and pono ads came up? I thought sex and porno ads wern't allowed

    deadmoon, i saw some google porn ads and i was asking myself the same question. maybe it's just some one that abused google after he got his account approved. I think that's the reason.

    Is so hard to say about this case, because they don't even have the screen shot of the ad and also..Adsense has its agreement when they signed up.

    Adult content adverts ARE allowed on AdWords - but oddly not on AdSense.

    Yep, that's correct, mainly because mainstream site owners don't want their ads placed on porno sites, the traffic tends to be of a worse quality as well as for moral issues.

    porn isnt allowed on publishers site , but google is allowed to show porn ads when porn is searched for.
