Google Drug Ads - Still Being Served
I thought that Google had sworn off drug ads.
So what's this?

Am I missing something here? What's going on?

diet pills are different methinks when it comes to the feds. SEs swore off pharmacies offering oxycontin
and other Rush Limbaugh favorites.

what's amazing, is that he ranks good on these keywords. Did you go to his home page? It's totally unrelated to diet
pills.

I just noticed that these are phony drugs.
So, I guess no REAL drug ads are allowed, but Google is happy to push FAKE drugs! My, oh my.

Whoops - Wrong Again!
Goggle IS still running drug ads -
http://forums.seochat.com/archive/t-14828
Scroll to the bottom.

It looks like Google is still pushing drugs, in GENERAL.
Perhaps the limitation is on SPECIFIC drugs.
Ads for drug-pushers, but not the drugs themselves?

Reminds me of the anti-french Jack-in-the-box ad currently running.
"Do you have something against the French? Well, which is it, Mr.Box?
Yes? No? NO? YES?
To which Jack replies with a resounding, "Eh".

Does Google still serve drug ads? "Eh. Depends."
When I try just one legitimate, informative drug-related page, all I get is PSAs, forever. How come SeoChat gets the ads? Is it a minimum PR thing? What is the criteria?

Guys, why is there a clickable link for pills on this page (twice)?

Hide the Data!
The FIRST link was to PHONY drugs!
The SECOND link was to RIGHT HERE, SEOCHAT!

OK.
So now they are not clickable.
Happy?
Let's make it harder for other forum browsers to see the data.
This ain't WmW. At SEOChat, we discuss things, instead of hiding everything behind anonimity. That's why I am here. Why are you here?

Thanks Surf-Dude, it's more fun clicking your sig links than pills links...

This forum was only one click away from the SEOchat tools.

Google Policy Change
I believe that Google has quietly revised their no-drug-ad policy.
I tried for MONTHS to get drug-related ads on two pages, but only got 100% PSA ads.

Today, I tried again.
Bingo. Instant drug ads. Less than 1 minute after uploading the pages.

Always question "common knowledge". It changes daily, in this business.
