Don’t Run your Brand Ads on Yahoo Video!
An interesting thing happens on Yahoo Video when you disable the safe search function and search on “adult” type keywords. Porn videos and adjacent Brand Ads from multiple AdNets. Advertisers and AdNets beware of cheap inventory, you may just be getting what you pay for.
Oprah and Dr Oz sue over Belly Fat Ads… Obey!
It looks like Oprah and Dr. Oz want their cut of belly fat ad revenue….. You know the ones you contacted your support rep at all the adnets to block form your site.
Hopefully Oprah and Dr. Oz will NOT go after the AdNets (most all of them ran some variation of this campaign) that facilitated these ads running on pretty much every website on the interwebs January – March 2009.
As of 8/20 there are no more Oprah endorsed Belly Fat Ads on MSNBC – but Rachael Ray is still fair game I guess.
Update: Adotas has a good article with more details here..
Jordan Rohan calls the ADNETS it as he sees them…..

It appears brand ads running on inappropriate content is not limited to the traditional banner ad networks and in-page ad units.
Keeping with my theme of picking on Ad Networks and Publishers; here is an example of premium HGTV ads running embedded in Vidilife’s soft core porn video content. From the URL in the screenshot these video ads are being served through YuMeNetworks.com.
HGTV + ASS = NO GOOD FOR ONLINE AD INDUSTRY!
JZ + The Beatles + Danger Mouse = Copyright Infringement Never sounded so good!
