Anyone annoyed by the sleep disorder ad?

[Go60Guy]

I've done very well with attracting the right sort of targeted ads for my sites except when that darn sleep disorder ad trumps everything. I just looked at a dog site I have, and there's this emblazoned, crappy looking sleep disorder thingy. The word sleep doesn't appear anywhere on the site. Except for that, the ads are all about dogs, pets, etc.

I seem to see this cropping up for every site I have, regardless of topic.

Anyone else seeing this?

Just block them.

[Go60Guy]

Yeah, I just did. Hope it works.

Have a look at the "Very Personalised Ads" thread. But still block them.

Is this an "image ad" or a text ad?

[celgins]

It's a text ad and more than likely, a site-targeted CPM ad with VERY low earnings.

There are several prescription drug ads (i.e. sleep aids, hair loss, etc.) that have cropped up lately.

[Go60Guy]

Big and ugly and not an image. Seems to show up on the home page and not on inner pages.

Just nuke (block) 'em.

[Go60Guy]

I did nuke them and it's working.

Now I see another, monster, well known prescritption drug ad which I've had to nuke (completely untargeted). How many of these will we have to do?

[Tropical Island]

How many of these will we have to do?

My block filter is full.

I have to delete one of the older ones to put in a new one.

[Scurramunga]

How many of these will we have to do?

My filter contains a variety of health ads, save the world ads etc and none of them relate to my niche. They do however target my site's keywords in a deceptive manner. Great for the crediblity factor arn't they?

Google AdWords lets you filter words; Google Adsense should let us filter words, too.

-sleep

The filter should be for a domain name, ad, or both.

The ad that bothers me is the RealAge display ad.
