After reading PAGES of posts of people complaining about the EXACT same issue and your non compliance to do a thing about it I feel the ONLY resolution will be to remove your service from my site. I am going to give you guys the benefit of the doubt and wait for a response but I feel it will not alter the course I see my self taking.

One pisssed off user,

Nick

I hope you're not holding your breath... after several years in the AdSense program I have yet to see Google respond to a missive such as yours. Usually Google only pays attention to AdSense publishers in negative ways: usually by banning accounts and websites. I think the only recourse you really have is to remove all the AdSense ad units from your site as Google has never shown any inclination to ban any ads that are not outright malware. The economic situation is so bad and Google so desperate for cash that it looks like they'll show just about anything, because that's all there is to show.

The only viable option short of pulling all ads is to change your ads to all text-only. I don't know if that will help you or not but it will take care of the crap image/Flash/RIA ads that most of this trash comes in. And even that may not be the complete answer you're looking for: I had to ban eBay a couple years ago because of text ads advertising "vaginal photos"... Good luck!

I have just signed up with AdSense this morning and am appalled that the first ad to appear on my blog, one that AdSense has deemed relates to my content, is for some video game that I wouldn't want my children to know about, let alone allow them to play. As the blog is about raising children of character, I can't condone the presentation of this type of ad to my readers. I will search out the ad filter. But I won't hold out much hope if the policing of the placing of these ads is a lax as it appears to be.

@Karma Getin: Video game advertisers are usually different from the wrinkletreatment/weightloss/gimmemybotox scam advertisers that latruth is cursing about. Your competitive ad filter is under your AdSense Setup tab. Get the url of the offensive ad and put it into the competitive ad filter. The thing isn't perfect but the ad should go away in a day or two. The real killer here is the agressive advertisers that want to turn all our children into psychotic, gun-crazed, suicidal, wannabe Army recruits (of character, of course)... AdSense is a fully computerized program where real thinking humans don't get involved in where the ads come from or where they get shown. The AdWords advertisers pick the keywords that they want and pay for them. We, the AdSense publishers, get the results of that complete and utter abandoment of common decency and personal integrity that comes hand-in-hand with those advertisers' search for a few more bucks at anyone else's cost. Good luck!

Thank you for not answering my questions, this truly is a piece of shit software with complete disregard to its users. I am going to put as much negative press about google adsense out there as I possibly can. Thank you for being an unsupportive motherfucker of a company and putting your trash ads on my sites after I block them REPEATEDLY.

where else can you go to have ads placed that will pay you?

You can do local advertising, sure adsense is the easiest, but they allow multi url's for shitty ads that makes it impossible to block.

take it easy u must complete the TOS of google and u`ll be Ok (A)

Can someone help me figure out how to remove the adsense ads from my site. It is causing an error I need to start over.

 

Please help
