I'm disturbed that a pornographic ad was just shown in the sidebar of one of my most successful articles, published for nearly 9 years now. It was an image of a woman bending over and taking it from behind, clothes on grinding, but not much was left to the imagination. I would LOVE to know why that's being displayed on my articles--?! It appeared for about 20 seconds and then was replaced with another, more normal, ad (see photo.) HOWEVER, I know what I just saw. It was pornographic, and I would like some quick answers as to why this was flashed in my sidebar ads. That is counter-intuitive to our attempt at a serious website. Please explain how this happened, and please make sure it never happens again on any of my pages. That's not the image I'm going for. / I would have taken a screenshot but it was gone in 20 seconds. Instead including a snapshot of the ad that appeared immediately after the pornographic one, in case that helps.
Google bases their ads on what you have been searching for. Readers will not see the same ads as you.
So be careful what you search for if you don't want Google to throw it back at you.
That is true as a general point, but just about everyone is getting these sexy lady ads, including me and I assure you I haven't been searching for anything remotely related to getting a financially-compensated girlfriend

This poetry hub has never been idle and used to get good traffic until mid September. So I am baffled as to why a copied version shows up and...

How do I get the f!ng$#! softcore porn ads from Google OFF of my articles! I've contacted Google a number of times but it does no good. Been going on for weeks. The only other place these ads show up is the Words with Friends game (which we call Words with Porn) that I play on FB. ...

Today I noticed that some of the niche sites are not always showing the updated dates in the SERPS. I've seen this specifically with Spinditty, Exemplore and Pethelpful. Instead it is showing a much earlier date, and not necessarily even the publication date. If fact, at least one of my Hubs is...
