Bad Ads: Google Bans Them, Bloggers Block Them
Here's How Google and Blogger Want to Clean Up the Internet
Google's Badvertising Ban
In 2018, Google announced it would ban all ads for "harmful" content, including sites that promote hate speech, violence, or discrimination, as well as those that spread malware or phishing scams.
The move was part of a broader effort by Google to clean up its platform and make it more trustworthy for users.
Blogger's Badvertising Block
In 2019, Blogger followed Google's lead and announced it would block all ads from appearing on its platform that violate Google's advertising policies.
This move was seen as a way to further protect Blogger users from harmful content.
What This Means for Bloggers
Google's and Blogger's bans on bad ads have a number of implications for bloggers:
- Bloggers need to be more careful about the content they publish.
- Bloggers need to be aware of the types of ads that are prohibited by Google and Blogger.
- Bloggers who violate Google's or Blogger's advertising policies may have their accounts suspended or terminated.
How to Avoid Bad Ads
There are a few things that bloggers can do to avoid having their ads blocked by Google or Blogger:
- Read and understand Google's advertising policies.
- Only publish content that is in line with Google's policies.
- Work with advertisers who are reputable and trustworthy.
- Use Blogger's ad blocking tools to prevent ads from appearing on your blog that violate Google's policies.
