Evan Coyne Maloney and Bill Hobbs have bits about Google's AdSense program. I've been running Google Ads on the multilingua.info site and so far I've seen enough good stuff to keep them running (since it's only costing me the bytes to ship 'em), but also enough doozies to keep me from actually putting my own money on the line. My favorites are when pages on finding a bathroom or ordering in a restaurant bring up ads for things like plumbing fixtures or cutlery.
The long term solution, I think, is to click on any google ad that seems inappropriate to the page until advertisers start asking what they're getting for their money. Since right now, 1) it's experimental and 2) the people most sensitive to the program are site owners not getting click-throughs, Google needs added incentive to make this work for all parties. I'd think a simple meta-tag letting you tell Google what a page is about if its own filters are missing the boat should suffice. (via Instapundit)
