Google Ads - Any changes?

Anyone noticed anything unusual about the Google ad placements over the last month or so? While traffic has been slowly increasing month to month, Google ad revenues took a big drop sometime within the last few weeks or so. I'm wondering if people are seeing different ads, placeholders, anything else that might be different than earlier this year. I haven't made any changes, so there's either a bug or Google has done something with the ads they are serving or their payout system.

Oddly enough they are now back down to where they were a few months back, when a Google rep suggested some improvements that worked very well in the short term, but strangely dropped back to previous levels after a while.

Not now, but for a while in the past week? or more? I've gotten the, "Are you single? Hi, I'm Marcus, <blahblahblahblahlotsoftextsomesortofdatingsite>" ad, which struck as particularly awful as an ad (starting with a pickup line... thanks, no).

I've seen that ad other places, too, but I definitely saw it here.

Well, the BJ's ad in the TTC area is funny. But also, I have notices more bad ads, like after market covers, I think and kinda cruddy seats.

Keep in mind that since the Google crawler cannot "see" any forums not visible to the public, it's ad placements there will often be a little more random. That's always been the case, though.

There's at least one new ad on car-seat.org that is causing my browser (IE) to crash. It's very intermittent and only on this website. And when I hit reload, it brings the page right up so I'm 90% certain its an ad doing it and when you reload, the ad changes and it lets you in. But I don't know how to determine what ad it is causing the problem.

I'm sure Albee would prefer proper spelling for an ad leading to their site if there's a way to get feedback to Google Ads.
