Roms and Gbatemp?

[Sarvesh50]

Roms or Warez are forbidden on Gbatemp.
But i have seen google Ads directing to some rom sites i am not gonna say which.
But i think this should be fixed before somebody tries to close Gbatemp.

 

[popoffka]

This couldn't be fixd.
The only way is fully deleting google ads code.

I don't know if you can control what adverts popup with Google Ads, but if you can't control them I'd probably recommend GBAtemp switching to AdBrite, because I'm pretty sure you can choose what adverts you want and don't want.

 

[Sarvesh50]

Than that should happen

Wow, it would be a real bummer if this would cause any problems for the site.

 

[Sarvesh50]

Mods really should look at it....

 

[Costello]

I've seen this, but theres nothing we can do. We dont really have control over whatever ads are displayed.
However I really doubt clicking a "ds roms!" link will take you to an actual DS rom site as this is against the google adsense policy agreement...
more like informational websites you'd find when googling such terms.
They use these words to drag you into their website and then you end up finding no rom downloads at all.

either way the content of these ads is not under our responsibility. This is Google adsense...

 

[antonkan]

Google AdScene includes ROM sites at GBAtemp?

Meh, I haven't see that though.

As Law already said, AdBrite is very good too.

 

[BedtimeGuy]

yeah, i actually decided to click on one today, and was taken to a website where you have to PAY to get a membership for a wii ROM site... like 29$. what a ripoff >.>

 

[Sarvesh50]

but still it is illegal inst it?

 

[nutella]

if memory serves me correctly, even gamespot has these ads.

 

[Sarvesh50]

But gamespot promotes their games and we well you know we are pirates so if nintendo could choose about closing on site then we we would be ythe favorite to close....
Its just i dont want to see Gbatemp closed.
Thats all....

 

[Langin]

hmp I know google ads is f#ucking bad sometimes nintendo did close my blog cos of google ads with their links!

 

[Deleted_171835]

Close GBAtemp! OH NO!!! If they attempt, PROTEST.

 

[alidsl]

I doubt we get closed down because of something we have no control about

 

[Langin]

this isnt fair for gbatemp, an friend from ninty says that if ya even have with google ads that there is an change for closing sites!

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Nah, Google Ads won't ever cause a site to be closed, rather the content of the site.
