The Google ads - DogForum.net

Not sure what the policy of the board owners is, but some of the ads are distasteful.
I understand you have to generate revenues by advertising, but I would be happier if the board would disallow certain types of ads, like for this site:
http://www.cuddlespice.com/
which I found reprehensible and nauseating.

Unfortunately we do not hand pick the ads that appear here through the Google system. They are simply an automated choice by Google's system based on what Google thinks the theme of the page is.

The best we can do at this point is limit the ones we do not feel add value by manually blocking the URL.

I have now blocked the advertiser in question and welcome your continued feedback in re: to which advertisers to block.

Thanks very much,
admin

Am I the only one who objects to this stuff? This one
http://www.vipchihuahua.com/
had the tagline "Teacup Chihuahuas"

Wow... there's no WAY these puppies are raised and bred right! This is very sad...

There are so many of them!
Definitely just another money making scheme! And based out of El Paso... I lived there for 11 years and can tell that these people can't be quality breeders! What a shame.

Well nextdaypets is still there, also there is californiaschnoodles and puppyfind.

I agree Skunk they are horrible adverts and most probably are puppy farmed.

Fidgitsmum · 01-29-2007, 06:01 PM

I didn't realise there were sites like that out there

So very sad.

No you are not the only one Skunk I too object think these sites are deplorable and should be removed. Like Carole says Puppy farmers.
