Blog Ads On Rough Times? I Don’t Think So!

MediaPost ran a story about one blogger [Evan Coyne Maloney] who’s having a difficult time getting ads he feels are “meant for his conservative audience” …

… published on his blog from Adsense. His complaint centered around ads that were more liberal in nature and more specificallyhe cited an example that commented on the recent Presidential election.

“How can 59,054,087 people be so dumb?”

I think MediaPost did a good job in researching the issues with Adsense but I don’t agree with this blogger’s complaints. After all, he’s got the power to turn off the domains he doesn’t want to show advertisements for. Yeah, it will take some time but doesn’t everything that’s worth its weight take a little time to perfect?
