When Google Ads Go Bad
May 13th, 2008 by NextRound
Yesterday we removed Google ads from NextRound. Not a big deal since the site’s still in development and we do not plan on using Google as our primary ad network in the future.
Why would we drop internet Wal-Mart from our site you may be wondering. Well, because out of the blue Google changed their opinion of us. We went from sports and movie loving guys’ guys in the eyes of Google bots to pro interracial dating gay men, who or may not be willing to pay for a handjob. Yeah, it got weird.
Our top three advertisers yesterday:
1) MenInLove.com. This is just Google calling us queer. No way around it. Maybe it was that article we wrote about how underappreciated Bette Midler is, or the one outlining our obsession with track lighting. Tough to say what outed us.
2) BBW.com. BBW stands for “Big Beautiful Women” for those of you not in the know. How Google figured out the kind of chicks we end up pillow fighting on a Saturday night is beyond us, but they did it. Must be their satellite technology.
3) InterracialRomance.com. We’re all for people dating whoever the hell they want, but never did we intend for either interracial relations or dating to be a prominent theme of our site. We could have sworn we were going for beer and tits.

Did you have any posts recently that had keywords related to those 3 topics? I’m guessing you did and if you reload Adsense to your site in a few days I’m sure the ads will be back to sports and hot chicks.

We’re beginning to suspect that writing about Ashton Kutcher is what did us in.
