Sex Ads on DFW.com

August 22, 2003

What is Knight Ridder’s dfw.com site doing selling sex ads? Think I am kidding. Just check out the screen shot below.

Screen shot of DFW.com Search Results Page showing an Overture Sponsored Link for adult sex toys.

I was searching for an article on Jordan Thomas and the day-care center T&T Tots. It looks like any search string with t& results in this sex ad being show. Just goes to show you how bad sponsored links can be. DFW.com features ads from Overture.

What happens when the link provider displays ads you object to? Has anyone experienced problems with Google’s AdSense displaying inappropriate ads for your site? Do you have any control and/or recourse?

    There's a boycott going around online for the TXCN station because of their constant airing of Hooters ads. Also, their sports commentators broadcast from the Hooters restaurant. Pretty sexist stuff that they do on TXCN. I no longer watch their station. TXCN is getting really disgusting.
