Is Britney Spears kissing Madonna Ad Allowed in Adsense
Google Adwords has a quality test team which seems to be again in a holiday mood because if you remember we already have doubts on google adwords ad quality team but this problem seems to be continious and now there are some french kiss styled photos being advertised on the adwords ads and no one seems to have a problem with this.
If you try to add this kind of ad in your adwords ad campaign then its rejected but the following ad seems to be a surprise because it promotes a MFA[Made-For-Adsense] site which has lot of similar photos.
This ad was found on this softpedia article and leads to this website The same ad video got millions of views on youtube and now seems like the MFA advertisers are looking for more CTR on their ads which is the reason they are trying out these images.
Don’t you guys find this ad to be offensive if there are kids reading the articles? I personally feel that the Adsense Ad Report section should be kept on the highest level of check and the team should instantly block these kind of ads.
Yes google is kinda acting weird these days although I found it funny more than offensive :p

Hai amit,
It shows the Google adwords team is sleeping. Google will really allows these kind of ads in google content network? I heard google only allows Family safe ads…It never seems family safe
It seems google encourages Lesbian activities.. Might be these kind of ads targeted for U.S and Europe Countries, not for asian countries..

Its not a US/Europe Targetted Ad because i found the Ad from our office IP which is India Based, hence i felt that this is something Google Adwords Team should instantly look into!

Apart from these discussions, i have kind suggestion to you, Why don’t you add favicon to your Site. Seems Ugly in Browser Tab.

I think that the guy is pushing some CPA offer with the ad and was lucky to get it passed through the adwords guidelines.
Nice find Amit.

No, I personally don’t find itz offensive anyway! They are just kissing, NOT nude. Did you saw the recent MICROSOFT Ad?? And, There are lots of dating site out there, Do you want they don’t give any advertisement through Adwords?? 70% people of US interested on Celebrity news, NOT on tech news! So don’t tell google or mircosoft how to do business with ethics. They know it far better than us. Your blame looks ‘BAN type’ funny to the new generation world! Grow up!

Common sense and etiquettes seem to be lost from our society so you can speak such a thing. I don’t blame you. It is due to world’s bad time…
