Google AdWords And Ethics Issues

Posted by simoniker on from the could-should-and-would dept.

trystanu writes "The Washington Post reports that Google 'will stop accepting advertising from unlicensed pharmacies that have used the Internet to sell millions of doses of narcotics and prescription drugs without medical supervision', following both Yahoo and Microsoft's similar moves last month. The head of Google's U.S. AdWords branch maintains it's not just for the money but that they want their searchers to have the ads most relevant to what they're looking for. It's quite clear some advertisers are using the front door to spam Google rankings. Are some of the 100,000 advertisers now signed up for Adwords tarnishing Google's image at a delicate time?"

    Searching for "goatse" on Google doesn't even return www.goatse.cx

    as the first result.

    I wonder if this is part of their new "responsibility"?

    Check out their robots.txt and you'll see they've blocked all search engines from indexing. It's a shame, too, I bet with all the links around the internet they've got some hefty pagerank.
