Google Content Network Is “Sensitive” to Your Gmail
8:58 am in Other Search Stuff by Will Fleiss
Here is a direct quote from the Adwords support pages:
“Google’s Gmail service, which is part of the content network, also displays AdWords ads. Gmail ads are placed by Google computers using the same automated process that matches relevant AdWords ads to web pages and newsletters. If our automatic filters detect that the topic of the email is sensitive, no ads are shown.”
What does that last line mean? How does Google define “sensitive”? Our ads show up on x-rated sites, but somehow Google knows if your email too sensitive to have ads show up. I would love to know how this filter works? Any ideas?
