Yahoo search marketing has finally come up hard on certain things that are definitely not appropriate for youngsters and sensitive users. Yahoo has banned ads on cigarettes, cheating essays where people trick their colleges by buying essays online, firearms, ammunition ads etc.
This is a great move since I personally never wanted these ads to be displayed, Following is from yahoo's official search engine marketing blog,
Cigarettes-Sure, James Dean looks cool smoking in that "Rebel Without A Cause" movie poster, but in our search listings we will not accept ads that sell, facilitate the sale, or promote the sale of cigarettes.
Essay-Writing Services-School is hard, writing papers is a drag, but going through life never learning a thing is even more painful. We no longer accept ads that promote academic paper-writing services and the sale of pre-written essays, theses and dissertations.
Fake IDs and Fake Diplomas-These days lots of things can be fake-nails, lips, other body parts. But we have to draw the line at fake IDs or credentials. For that reason, we will not accept ads that offer fake IDs, diplomas or educational transcripts.
Firearms, Ammunition and Fireworks-Go blow 'em up and shoot 'em up somewhere else, because we will not accept ads that offer or promote the sale of fireworks, firearms or integral parts for these weapons.
Fake IDs again is a major problem since children with fake ids enter adults only blogs and spoil learn things they are not supposed to do at their age,
