RE: It's Not Just Online

No Omninerd input as to what these ads might actually be as far as I know.

Nope - we really don't have any say as to what AdSense displays. At least I don't think so, I'm not the one managing the AdSense account! But when you look at ad pools like Google and Yahoo, it's a safer bet that you're not going to get some XSS or similar attack from their system than from privately arranged ads (unless we store the ad content).

RE: It's Not Just Online by Occams :: NR6

Thanks. That explains a lot about how such crap got up on our site. I still don't think that we should be complacent and accept that just because it came automatically from google and was chosen by a computer based on key words on the page that we have to accept it without complaint.

Crap is still crap however it is delivered. Computers must work for us not against us. We must react to Google and AdSense and tell them that their performance is not good enough. Threaten them.

I propose that all omninerds who agree with me should make a post on the AdSense forum complaining about the quality of ads that they are putting on Omninerd Customer feedback is always valuable.
