Hi,
I post again this message because somehow it was removed from the Forum before.
While browsing CertCities pages I've noticed quite many advertisements of brainfump/gunmen sites. These ads come from Google AdSense program.
Here is
http://certip.blogspot.com/2007/07/adsense-braindumpgunmen-f ilter.html - one example
of what one can see while viewing CertCities pages. I already got an answer from Becky Nagel in that matter. Anyway it is worth the discussion as it is not only the CertCities problem, but actually at most of certification sites which publish AdSense one can encounter this kind of ads.
BTW, I would like to welcome everybody as this is my first post on the Forum.
Regards, J4 |

As the link mentions, a site owner can filter out the objectionable ads, but its a slow, manual process to do so, and you have to see the ad at least once in order to know that you should block it. There ought to be a better way, but Google doesn't have one at this time.
