Distasteful ads
-
I understand that WordPress has ads on my blog to cover expenses, but do they need to be so trashy?
These are recent ads by Gravity:
1. “10 of the most embarrassing and totally real ways to land in the hospital”, which doesn’t seem to be an ad at all, but a link to a Huffington Post story, including an account of someone who had an eel swim up his penis/urethra, complete with squirming eels photo.
2. “20 Celebs Who Have Beaten Cancer”. Again, not really an ad, but a link to an online article.
3. “26 Celebrities You Didn’t Know Were Alcoholics”. Trashy.
4. “These 5 Battles Just Aren’t Worth Fighting”. Another Huff Post article.Do I have to expose my readers to the eventuality of reading about someone’s penis dilemma on a food blog for goodness’ sake! Can’t the ads be any classier, maybe cuing in to food related products? WordPress used to have better ads. What happened?
How can I influence the quality of ads on my blog?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
