Let's put it in CAPS, so you can't use the excuse you didnt read it:
GOOGLE DOES NOT LET YOU CHOOSE WHAT ADS TO DISPLAY, THEY ARE SELECTED BY CHOOSING KEYWORDS FROM THE CONTENT OF THE SITE!
now shut the fuck up
TB, my post was perfectly polite - not a single swear word, purely information. I'll leave it to you to work out within yourself why your response was so extreme.
If you checked your facts before posting I wouldn't have to say this, but let's see who has REALLY got their 'facts straight'.
Google allows for advertisement filtering. It is called the URL Filter.
To quote:
"Google combines advanced technology with editorial staff to ensure the highest quality standards in our ad program, but we recognize that you may not want certain ads, such as your competitors' ads, to show on your website. Ads that link to sites on your filter list won't appear on your content pages. You can update your list anytime, and changes will take effect within a few hours.Please note that filtering sites may decrease your potential earnings and/or the number of ads that can appear on your web pages. "
In the past few weeks I've seen one new user told by a long-standing member of this forum that the MP Sponsor only installs one toolbar when in fact it can install two - the silver search bar and the blue passthrough toolbar (the user in question had both on his system). I've also seen Patchou say that SmileyCentral isn't advertised anymore, when in fact it was still being advertised on the non-English forums. Now I see you SCREAMING that Google doesn't let web site owners choose ads, when in fact Google allows the filtering of unwanted web sites.
I hope you'll forgive me for hanging around to point out such errors, in the hope that everybody will learn, and that misinformation will be fixed. I point out that I waited two days for Patchou to be told by somebody else about the SmileyCentral advertisements on the non-English pages; I also waited two days for your error about Google to be pointed out. Nobody else said anything, therefore I had to.
