Yes I guess its ebay which has a problem you can easily game the ebay system since they have so many users and very little scanning of what users add to categories but it makes more sense to me not to get caught in a awkward position as my users may thing that I am the one who is promoting the product.

I have seen this in many blogs, the adult ads from Auction ads!

Sad to see this kind of mismanagement … but that’s about par for the course for ebay which is Auction Ads only client. I ran them on a oow traffic blog for 2 months … delivered several hundred clicks, not a single conversion … not even a penny. I took them off and replaced the 160×600 with a Google skyscaper and a paying click came in in less than 15 minutes. On that particular blog … again, very low traffic, Google produces a solid $5 or $10 a month, without fail … I know it’s fashionable to downrate AdSense but $100 plus a year from and essentially static site that costs less than $20 a year to jkeep up is a pretty great ROI … Auction Ads? Not trying them again.
