Thanks for that.
So can anyone point me to an ad served by Google that is as bad as the examples in the blog post? I thought Google had previously cracked down on such ads from the serving side too, although less deceptive ones were still allowed, no? I'm happy to be better informed!
- infogulch 11y agogetpaint.net is mentioned elsewhere itt. Perhaps not quite as bad, but still at least mildly deceptive.
- torgoguys 11y agoGotcha. Yeah, I see one there. Big green button with a down arrow saying "GET IT NOW" lots of whitespace below and then a smallish rewaterpressure logo. Because of the whitespace, the button very much looked associated with the paint.net download text above, not with the rewaterpressure logo below. I also received the less bad (but still bad) text-based "start download now" one the same page. You convinced me. Editing my parent post above. EDIT: for those curious, here's what the page looked like on the page load mentioned above: http://imgur.com/SisOXNT http://imgur.com/SisOXNT They were all Google served ads.
- tveita 11y agoI got served a "Click here to update your Windows drivers" ad on Youtube. I clicked around for a while but couldn't find a way to report it.
