Google to label sites w/bad ads as dangerous

Even if G serves up the bad ad...

Google will slap big red warning on legit sites hosting bad ads [zdnet.com]
Maybe they should clean up AdWords first!

Google is casting a wider net with its Safe Browsing technology to protect Chrome users, not just from deceptive websites but also from deceptive ads on legitimate sites.

...while Google does more to prevent such ads being distributed through its own ad business.

But apparently even if AdSense serves up the bad ad, they'll label the suite as dangerous. How nice!

Google notes the new Safe Browsing feature may have an impact on legitimate websites that display deceptive ads.

@Mentat Mindspark really are the Japanese Knotweed of the Adsense world! I keep blocking them and they keep reappearing with new sites... latest one today was dailybibleguide.com

@Mentat I've taken this up with Adsense and they are looking into it, I passed them several Mindspark accounts with details of the ads they were posting and what they were clicking through to, will keep you posted as to what they come back with!
