Google vs. Whiter Teeth
Losing the war on spammy ads, Google goes after the source.
Sick of those whiter teeth and fitness ads that seem to be everywhere these days? They’re not only annoying, most of them are scams designed to charge people’s credit cards for fraudulent services and subscriptions (a business model we’ve discussed many times on BlogLESS).
Until last week, Google’s policy was to remove the offending ads and their associated pages. Of course, this didn’t do much good as spammers simply put up new ones faster than they could be taken down. Now, Google is attacking the source of the problem, banning the companies that generate scammy ads.
Fewer awful ads, now that’s something to be thankful for.

You're reading BlogLESS, a daily blog about the ethics of advertising, branding, design, social media and business. We are also fans of zen, although this itself is perhaps not so zen.
