Taking a Stand Against the Google Adsense “Barack Obama Muslim?” Ads
Reading Donklephant brought me to this conclusion — I am sick of the B.S., libelous Google AdSense “Barack Obama Muslim?” ads running on this site and others. My brother and I are running ads on this site to help pay for our fees and, more importantly, our contributions to the Barack Obama campaign. Hey, we’re not rich, and want to give all that we can. Now that we are flooded with the “Muslim” and even John McCain ads, we are definitely rethinking our strategy. We are going to attempt to filter and block these ads (especially the Muslim one), or switch to just image ads to prevent them (I’ve only seen text versions).
Bear with us as we try to figure this out. We will pass along whatever we figure out…
UPDATE: Thanks to Donklephant, we’ve figured this out and blocked the “Muslim” ad as well as the McCain ads.
UPDATE:
Somebody asked about setting up a filter, and it’s pretty easy.In your Adsense account dashboard you’ll click the Adsense Setup on the top and then click Competitive Ad Filter on the menu below.
From there it’s even easier, because all you do is simply copy the domain name into the box and hit the Save changes button below.
The URL in question that you’ll want to paste in there is this one: www.thefirstpost.co.uk. That way NOTHING from that domain will be able to show up in your Google ads.
Hope this helps.
