Adwords – Adulfriendfinder affiliate deceptive ads?

January 7, 2008 at 3:28 pm, Scorpiono
I did a search for “teen dating” on Google US for one of my websites, and well.. I’ve seen the sponsored link and wondered what it’s about, so I clicked.

I have seen “google.co.uk” as URL set for a “teen dating” related website? *woot?!*

Adwords - Adulfriendfinder affiliate deceptive ads?

Adultfriendfinder has the best paying affiliate network in the dating industry. The main reason I’m not using AdultFriendFinder is because some of my users (teens) are not over eighteen 18, so promoting it would not be ethical (or *legit*).

If people use Adultfriendfinder affiliate links on Google Adwords for a keyword like “teen dating”, I’m sorry but that’s just not good, fair or ethical whatsoever, I’m thinking about warning Google AdWords about this..

The last thing we want is viagra ads sent to children, agree?

    We aren’t serving Zango, there is no public page linking to those pages anymore. I got adviced my some really big webmasters, and closed the deal with Zango, you can check their records.

    good move regarding zango but….

    i think that the mylol.net issue(teen dating..) is not gonna end that soon….and not because of zango crapware this time..

    just my 2 cents ….
