    Gmail/Google does not show ads if in the mail something like ‘death’ ‘accident’ is mentioned to keep commercials aside from the person who is going to get the sad news!
    DON’T TRY THE TRICK MENTIONED IN THIS POST. Respect Gmail’s decision.
    Anyway,
    Have you ever heard of Adbloker or Greasemonkey scripsts?

    Unfortunately they figured this out and it no longer works…most likely because it was posted online for everyone to read.
