Conservative Google Ads on DU?
I realize they are Google Ads and DU may not have absolute control over the displayed content, but I was curious if the DU was working on doing something about this? I'm certainly not going to click on a pro conservative ad on DU.

3. click on them
the way google ads run is they pay for x number of hits then they're through.

Click on them then close the site out. Make them pay for your hit. (I do this on FB too)

6. You can also make them disappear...
Since you have a donor star, you can do that.

It's under "options."

Then, I think "Edit your preferences."

It makes the site look so much better!

8. the system parses the page content so you get some really bad
matches like during the iceland volcano: ads to 'Fly to Iceland'
threads on alcoholism with ads for booze
