Google Ads On Ann Coulter's Page Promoting Liberal Agenda

Posted on 03/17/2005 10:06:02 AM PST by farlander

Google ads promoting Gay/Lesbian agenda on Ann Coulter's page.


TOPICS:
KEYWORDS:
Ok, so - I really, really doubt Ann Coulter would approve of the fact that Google's AdSense has ads for Lesbian Dating and Gay Personals and Chat on her main home page (www.anncoulter.com). I've got a screenshot. Also, ads for Anti Bush bumper stickers, etc. It's almost a concerted effort to place liberal propaganda and merchandising on Ann's site. I thought I'd raise the issue here - perhaps someone could let her know (or Ann might see this one herself, if prowling here).

Don't sweat this. Think of how much money they are wasting by posting these ads on web sites where the visitors will only laugh at them.

Heck, encourage more of this, just don't click the links as that makes money for someone involved in posting them.

Are you sure about that? I think they pay a flat fee for this.

Well, I don't love it, but if they want to support Ann then I guess she should let them. It doesn't mean she supports them. They may think they are clever, but she will still write the same columns about the same subjects. I have more confidence in her inability to be bought than about anyone else's. An internet ad is not usually even close to the same thing as a tv ad where you get an eyeful of garbage along with the ad. It just makes them look silly and desperate. That's my first reaction.

actually clicking the links also makes money for Ann plus for every 1000 visitors to her site she gets something like 8 dollars.

I haven't used adsense myself but I thought you could censor what ads they put on your site.

Google actually allows you to filter out ads that you don't want on your site. Problem is, Google feeds you ads for so many liberal causes that you spend more time added url's to your filter list that compared to what you earn from Google it just isn't worth the effort. I finally just dropped it.

Here's where you can tell Google what you think about these ads:

Welcome to AnnCoulter.com

It's so easy to give us an actual link when talking about a website, that I am not sure why you wouldn't!

I don't see and Google ads on her page. I see an amazon link to her book, a conservative book club, and some documentary about Ann of unknown spin.

Where were the ads you saw?
