This is too much!

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by ahelpinghand, Apr 1, 2008.

    I don't know why AdSense is doing nothing to protect its publishers as doing THOUSAND of things to protect advertisers! I understand that advertisers pay them money but I also understand that without publishers, there will be no money paid by the advertisers!

    First, it accepted the extremely low paying advertisers (I'm talking about the 0.01 here). Second, and even much worse I've found out that some bad advertiser has bought a lot (and I mean A LOT) of .info domains all pointing to the same ADULT dating site! They keep appearing in my site ads all together and I keep blocking them (more than 10 so far!) and every time I block one of them, new 10 ones appear! This is really getting too much. Not only he is paying $0.01 per click, but also my tutorial site gets visitors from all ages, minors too and I want to protect them from those adult sites coming from Google AdSense. This is really bad :(

    "AdSense is doing nothing to protect its publishers as doing THOUSAND of things to protect advertisers"

    May be because "advertisers" pay Google, where in the case of "publishers ", Google have to pay them :)

    I agree adsense cold do a lot more to protect publishers. Here's my suggestions to adsense:

    1. Allow blocking of specific IP's/ranges (including your own so no accidental clicks)
    2. Limit the maximum number of clicks per IP in 24 hours (a limit publishers can set)
    3. Allow wholesale blocking of Homosexual, Political, Sexual ads, etc.
    4. Remove the 200 cap on blocking sites
    5. Automatically crawl advertisers domains for redirects

    I'm sure I could go on and on with this list. Google is a data king. The least they could do is help us help them.

    If this is the case, why don’t you send a feedback about that ad to Google Adsense team, I am sure if this is true, they will ban his account/s.

    This is TRUE, I can pm you all the domains I have banned so far if you like, they are all .info domain redirecting to the same adult dating site. I'm not talking about me or Google banning a specific account, I'm talking about a policy to protect publishers as there is one -and a strict one- to protect advertisers. And I don't agree with people saying that advertisers are the ones who are paying, without publishers, no advertisers will pay Google, right? I'm sure Google people are mature enough to know that! I agree with every thing else said on this thread, they can do all of that and easily too!

    Another thing, they are always saying that their ads are the most targeted ones, any body tell me please: what that adult dating has to do with Photoshop, Flash, ...etc tutorials?!

    Google does scan the landing page, however there are black hat guys who know how to game it and thus manage to slip through.

    Personally I do report such advertisers from time to time to give Google a helping hand, after all getting these kinds of sub standard advertisers is in our best interest.

    I also pretty much agree with almost all the points Snowbird has mentioned, which I think can go a long way in curtailing this issue.

    Do you send report to Goggle by sending email to their support or what? What was their response, did you continue to see those ads or Google banned them?

    Another question, does the big sites that gets hundred thousands of visitors still get hose MFA sites? Or they can't bid for them?

    This is not something to tell us friend. You need to rport this to google right now and have them to ban this as this is not acceptable! I have a adsense account and i have the same problem. if we all emailed google adsense they would take notice.

    Below every ad you see the link that says “Ads by Google”, just click on it and it will take you to the feedback form which you need to send.

    Usually big sites are targeted by big advertisers, so the CPC and CPM on those sites is pretty large for MFAs to bid, though you might just see a few getting through.

    It's simply because the publishers are more than the advertisers.
    Today was my worst AdSense day :(

    That would make Adsense much better. I'm sure though this is already there, just not for us to meddle with. (like the IP thing)


    ya the big sites get better quality ads, while the small publishers get the mfa ads on their small sites...
