Filter out Filipina dating sites on advertisements, but the plot thickens
Filipina Images seeks to improve the online image of Filipinas with its website. Part of the problem are all the Filipina dating sites, so this is a great tip coming from them: a Filter Filipina Dating Site Ads guide.
It’s a list of sites that you can filter out from your Google AdSense ads. And yes, it will be updated from time to time with new sites.
I think this is a great tip that all Pinoy bloggers should use. The problem is in having to manually search the web for such sites, recompile the list, and update the ad filters. Still, it’s better than not doing anything about it, especially as families, loved ones, friends, and colleages of Filipinas.
But the plot thickens! As I’m reading the blog post at Filipina Images, there are still new problematic ads that have popped up:
We now have to filter out keywords like “marry a USA man” and “date foreign men” as an additional strategy to this.
