Forum:Changing Google Ads on Gaiapeida

Is there some way we could try changing the ads displayed on the Gaiapedia. Not removing them, but changing to a diferent section of ads. Not only are the ads there unrelated to gaia. The only one related to gaia is a Illegal site that would get the users from Gaiaonline that visit our wiki banned from the site.

I have a feeling the current search for ads is "gaia online", if something else can't be found then the site does have a small hsitory in "Anime" or possibly simliar things to it might be in "Forums".

 * Hi Dantman, I've added that site to the list of URLs that we won't accept ads from, it will be sent off with the next batch. From what I understand, Google looks at the whole page content to decide ads - we can't specify the search terms.  But we can remove any ads that are a problem.  Just let us know -- sannse (talk) 08:16, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok... gotcha... Though it would be nice if there weren't so many unrelated ads. Most of the one's that look like they are related are just junk sites using title tricks to get their ads and pages sent all over the other search engines. Dantman (Talk) 00:20, 18 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I was on a friends site about a similar topic to our wiki. I found 2 more ads on his site that are similar to the one I found here. Since our site has a topic similar to his and these ads are probably somewhere on our wiki in a page I haven't caught then on can you block "whopal.com" and "gaiamoney.com" because they to sell gaia gold against the GaiaOnline TOS and I don't want harmful ads on our wiki.

 * I just saw both of those ads on the recentchanges page, so yes those violating ads are on the wiki and should be filtered. Dantman (Talk) 06:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * "mmorpg-sale.com" is another one of the same type of ads displaying on our wiki that really needs to be filtered. Dantman (Talk) 22:28, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Is there any way we could have a page where people can list what ads need to be filtered. Because I'm still seeing whopal.com, mmorpg-sale.com, and sometimes gaiamoney.com, and we'd prefer not to have illegal ads being promoted on our wiki. And we're left with low ways to have the ads quickly filtered, and we're not allowed to use css tricks to hide those ads. Dantman (Talk) 08:18, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
