I just published my first Hub and one of the Google ads is for "Sexy Asian Girls." This is not acceptable to me. Do I have any control over the ads or do I just need to eliminate Google. Would other ad sense options run the same risk?
It takes time for google to catch up with you. As you spend more time here, you will see what that means. Give it a day or two, and then, mostly, the AdSense ads will come into line with your Hub. Meanwhile, at this moment, your profile shows that you have no Hubs. Maybe you deleted your first one.
So if you are feeling discouraged, give it all a chance. Welcome to HP.
Yes, you can. From the Adsense FAQ's:
How can I block certain ads from showing on my site?
If you see ads that you'd prefer not to display, don't worry. You can prevent
these ads from appearing on your site by using your Competitive Ad Filter to
block them. Our Filter Guide ( http://www.google.com/adsense_newpub1/urlfilter )
shows how.
Of course, this only applies if you have already opened your own account with adsense.
She will still see unwanted ads for some time in Hubpages's share of ads, even if she blocks them for her own share. There is no point in doing this though, cause in a few hours ads become relevant

Now don't get me wrong, I totally love writing on Hubpages and being a part of the Hubbing community, but I have lost a little heart recently when one hub of mine on "How to Improve Male Fertility" had the ads disabled based on automatic filters. This problem I reported in order to have...

I noticed that the square block of ad usually seen at the top of the hub (when you don't use a photo or any capsule aligned to the right) is now gone. I haven't touched my hubs for quite a long time and I'm wondering if this is a recent change. I actually like the change because the less ads, the...

I was refraining about talking about this but it really is bad. Last month with adsense was my most profitable month, but this month so far I got 3 clicks...What could have made this change?-New Hubpages Layout?-April 1st Conflicker Virus? I was thinking these two things can't be so harmful to my...

I have been using HP for over 7 years now, and I do make a few bucks from my writings. I can say that you will never get rich or even make a living off of HP, but you can make enough to, as I tell friends, "go out to dinner a couple of times a month". But my point here is that as I watch...
