Default Ads by Google



As a family orientated site, I was disappointed to see 'Ads by Google' using AFF's landing page to promote the likes of



and another promoting Asian girls for dates and phone calls.

(No, google are not providing ads related to my browsing habits).

I can only hope that Google exercise some social responsibility by promoting flood appeals instead of ads selling girls.

My thoughts and best wishes go out to everyone affected by the tragic big wet.

That is not good but I would highly doubt AFF has much control over that.

Also the issues have nothing to do with the floods...

That's the guests contributing to their bandwidth use by viewing Goodle ads.
We introduced this 'feature' after the guest numbers reached about 1/3rd our average hits - and at times exceeded the number of members on-line.
