    • I recently visited a keyboarding web site that was filled with google ads. I believe this site to be a disgrace.  I am not against people making money, but come on, do it tastefully. 

    Little kids do not always know what they are clicking on by accident.  To gain money through clicks by exploiting young kids is awful.

    One should use google ads in a way that does not exploit kids.

    Here is the example of a site taking advantage of kids with google ads:

    Here is an example of google ads done with a bit of class:
