Advertisements

:wa:

Like Sr Danah said I think it all depends on where you are. I haven't seen anything remotely indecent on the ads, just ads for muxlim, an islamic investment firm and some other Islamic site. I don't think I have seen a dating site advertised on the ad banner when I have visited.

I guess I must have this Ad blocker already, i've never seen any google adds here.

Re: Google Ads

Greetings,

I don't even see the advertisement until someone mentions it. Just ignore it...like there was a wedding banner and I didn't even realise that...well when there was a topic about it lol.

I'm the same. Over the years I must have programmed my eyes to ignore adverts automatically. I've never clicked on one and never consciously bought anything that I'd seen in an advert.

I've been getting some irritation recently from ads that take ages to download, so I'll be trying the Adblocker that Guven suggested - thanks for that.

Peace

Re: Google Ads....Do we really need them?

I have noticed that lately we had this google ads banner at the top of the forum page.

Well, this list is always keep updating in an automatic way, and I dont think that there is a reliable way to control what kind of ads to show.
I did notice that there are some sites are not proper to be promoted in an Islamic forum like those sites of dating women from your own country ^o)

Do we really need that? I know Google ads pays to the forum for hosting the ads here, but still......:><:

What do you think?

1. Each time a google ad is clicked, the site brings revenue.

2. The "advertisement" is according to the content on the page.

3. I've already given Rashad a way to control the content of the ad (yes, it can be controlled) but it's a little hard for him to do anything since he relies heavily on his 'advertising department'.

4. Take a look at http://ourislamic.com (it's my personal site, an Islamic website and I am just using it as an example). Regardless of what page you're on, you won't see any innappropriate ads. I can guarantee that.

If you need any help (anyone) I'm ad adsense expert

Actually I used the ads blocker long time ago since I realized that we wont get rid of them here.....so I don't see ads in your site either

The ads cant be fully controlled and will never be, because the ads list that google use are dynamic so what you see today might not be seen tomorrow or after a week or a month, unless someone is ready to stay 24/7 online to check every new ads they add......then it will be a different story.

I used to be in another Islamic forum and the same ads problem was there, the admin asked the members to report any inappropriate ads to him....later on he realized that its a hard job to keep blocking the inappropriate sites from the list because they are dynamic so he just removed it all.
brother Ubaid, if you use firefox browser just add the ads blocker give yourself a break from all that thing.


brother Rashad, I sincerely pray that you will get a better income very soon so you wont need any ads from google inshaAllah.......jazakAllah khair for the hard work

You can filter categories..


Categories I'm currently filtering:
- Cosmetic Procedures & Body Modification
- Dating
- Sexual & Reproductive Health
- Sexually Suggestive
- Video Games (Casual & Online)

Categories I allow:
- Drugs & Supplements
- Get Rich Quick
- Politics
- Religion
- Ringtones & Downloadables
- Weight Loss

Advertisers aren't going to put their ads in the incorrect category, as their targeted traffic would get messed up, and they'd be wasting money.

Also, google check to make sure that the ads are in the proper categories.

 

[Danah]

^ yes that might help a little, but still
Take for example the religion category, do all what had been advertised under that section is proper? I mean in terms of aqeedah and such...it keep promoting for sites that you are not sure whether they are trustworthy and promote islam in it's true form or not.

And what are the rules of this forum regarding 'find a life partner' ads with ugly pictures on them..
I feel like making fun of the dudes and dudettes on it and it's all your fault :mmokay:
