Why the ads for deceitful breeders and PUPPY MILLS on YT??? I haven't noticed this before so it may not be new, but when I logged in tonight, 2 of 3 ads at the top of the page (under the YT header) struck me. One advertises "teacup" yorkies, the other is a Mass. Kennel that has been investigated by local news stations here as a seller for PUPPY MILLS :eek:. I have to ask...why???? Or is this something not controlled by the YT admin's/staff? Here they are, in case something different shows up elsewhere... <LI id=taw0 onmouseover="ss('','aw0')" onfocus="ss('','aw0')">Yorkie Puppies For Sale Yorkie Toy & Teacup puppies for sale in NYC area from Breeder Puppy Petite NYC Quality Puppies For Sale <LI id=taw1 onmouseover="ss('','aw1')" onfocus="ss('','aw1')">Yorkshire Terrier Puppies Visit our Massachusetts kennel & Select your pup (508) 987-7161 www.laughlinkennel.com What do you think? |
Yes, I've been concerned about that in the past and asked. It's in the google banner and YT has no control over those ads. I REALLY wish we could choose not to have those types of ads. :( |
It's an "ad supported site". But that doesn't mean the admin has control of the ads...especially if it runs google ads. Those bots look for "key words" and pop up ads based on those words. We should be writing to which ever company is doing the ad matchup and tell them their choice of sponsors is reprehensible. |

Yes, really concerning. Here are some links to the investigations done for Laughlin Kennels. The third one includes a video. :mad: Customers Say Pet Shop Is More Like Puppy Mill - Boston News Story - WCVB Boston Feds Call Puppy Mill Owner 'Unfit' - Boston News Story - WCVB Boston I Team: undercover video of puppy mill |
I belong to another Vbulletin forum with Google ads. If we take a screen shot of an offensive ad, the Admin will remove them. |
