Sponsored Ads

[~Void~]

I was scrolling down to the bottom of the website, for some dumb reason, and I saw these ads (the ones for WoW money)... don't you think it's a little strange to advertise illegal stuff on a website that doesn't support it?

Google just sees the word "Warcraft" everywhere so it brings up "warcraft" ads. Which, in this case, are WoW gold ones.

You cant expect much from google. They give out the most random ads in the world for some websites. One time, on an MMORPG website, they were advertising Some police department...

Still... there should be some kind of filter for that crap.

They are not Google ads, just for reference, but yes, ads sometimes contain irrelevant (or unwanted) content.

The Hive is not doing anything wrong. Legally I think that because the WoW gold is not actually on the site, there's nothing wrong. Although it's ironic considering The Hive doesn't even support the talk of WoW models, let alone buying gold.

Aye:

You've probably all noticed that the google ads stopped showing a week ago. I have decided to give bidvertiser a try and they seem fairly good. I hope to get money enough for the next server tickets with this. Since it costs very much.

Please welcome bidvertiser

Whats odd is we dont support illegal/private servers while our affiliate eurobattle is pretty much an illegal/private server.

Wow models matters to us. WoW gold doesn't..

I guess it's more of a liability thing since Hive is such a large community it has a bigger chance of being caught for it and sued (especially since it's a .com not a .org).

I myself don't really care about that stuff, I just try to follow the rules as much as possible and was pointing out that illegal ads kinda contradict them.
