Good luck to you, but it never works. As you say, there's no way to discriminate between relevant & polite ads and spammy ads except for human intervention. I'm not involved in the business (clearly), but I think the overheads are sufficiently small in the advertising business that that's just not viable.

That's why I don't think advertising is a viable business model for web content in the long term. Spammers are going to spam, users are going to install adblocking software to get rid of the spam, and whatever's left will either get caught up in adblock or be too cost ineffective for businesses to bother with.

Replying to myself to ask Sean a direct question. Your ads appear to be really crap quality. "Free Mp4 Player" with a link to Ask.com is really your idea of better advertising?
