My 8Asians.com: An Asian-American Community

When Google Adsense strikes back

So as you guys know, 8Asians.com uses Google Adsense, hence the banner ads anywhere in an attempt to generate revenue. Those of you who aren't webmasters might not know that there's a feature called "competitive filter," which in theory keeps you from showing competitors sites by domain name, but in practice prevents sites you don't want from showing up.

In my case, "sites you don't want from showing up" equate to "Bride purchasing sites from China." Unfortunately, many domains are registered, and this has to be done by hand, so if you guys see a domain on the site that's inappropriate, let me know.

Until then, I present to you the current, kinda hilarious list:
asiankisses.de
asiawomen.com
cebuanas.com
chinalovematch.net
chinesekisses.com
chnlove.com
filipinaheart.com
findaasianlover.com
kijiji.ca
lonelyjapanesegirls.com
mate1.com
meetjapanlady.com
sinobrides.com
thaikisses.com
thailovelinks.com
vietnamcupid.com

And interestingly enough, right now on this Ning.com site, the Google ads are:

"African American Radio"
"Classic Western Movies"
"African American Grants"
"Sunday Night Movies"
"Caring for Ethnic Hair"

Because, you know, words like "asiankesses" and "lonelyjapanesegirls" naturally conjure up images of African American radio and ethnic hair...

Isn't Kijiji.ca similar to Craigslist?

Possibly also similar to CL in creepy ads for casual encounters of the exotic kind.

Now the only ad that comes up is the Hurricane Relief one. Is there a "Public Service only" setting?
