Good People, if you saw auto-ads or google_vignette on Tekedia this morning, they were not approved by us. Google activated them; we noticed that it sent an email “Give Auto ads another try: …” We have been declining these offers, but stubbornly Google feels that anyone who runs a popular website must monetize via ads, and the firm keeps pushing ads, even when we have not approved. I find it strange indeed!
Google, how many times do we need to tell you that we’re not interested in Auto Ads on tekedia.com. I find it extremely offensive that you can decide to activate ads on our website by fiat. Yes, we understand that the game is to fill all spaces with adverts, but we do not want that on tekedia. Please DO NOT activate ads we have not activated.
We woke up this morning with all kinds of adverts on the site. You called them “experiments”. Who gave you the power to experiment therein? We currently use what we want. Thanks for the tools. We like what we’re using but we do not want those auto-ads.
