By and large I do not post on websites, but I’d like to mention that this post really has forced me to do so! Thank you for your insightful article.

They said it couldn’t be done, but Google DID IT! Yay! Kudos to Google. Thank you, folks!

Great! I had been disappointed with Google allowing those obvious scam ads and I applaud their decision to ban them.

Excellent! I don’t mind legitimate ads, and somtimes will click to take a look. After the third “tooth whitening” or “‘nail’ lengthening” ad I mentally tune anything else in that part of the page geography out. I resent my ISP serving up ads like this on the webmail site and generally put a Task Manager window over that part of the page.
Kudos to Google for taking a stand against this garbage. It may cost them revenue in the short term, but I will certainly be using Google more due to the change.

About time! Some of those ads are very sneaky. One time I accidentally clicked on the ad because it “popped” up just as I was going to click on something else.
