Over the last couple of days I've noticed that the Google ads have changed. There used to be a lot more debt settlement and debt consolidation companies. (In particular, it seemed like Langhorne was on every other page.) Now it seems like there's nothing but payday loan ads.
I know that the forum sells leads to debt settlement companies, so that would explain it blocking them from getting on with cheap Google ads. I don't have a problem with that because I understand it's expensive to maintain a site like this one. But do we really need pdl ads on every page? It seems to go against everything Debt Consolidation Care stands for.
Anyone else noticing this? Is there anything that can be done about it? I know I'm new here so if I'm out of line, I apologize. But it bothers me to see so many payday loan ads.

Freaky - from what I understand the forum has no control over the advertisements that are run at the top of the page. The ads are run by the type of forum - like when you google a certain pdl you get the forum because we talk about that pdl. The ads have nothing to do with the content of the forum.

Hi FF
I know how it feels when so many pdl ads are displayed by the google. Unfortunately, we have very limited or no control over it. The ads are displayed based on the keywords typed in the web pages.
Few more members expressed the same concern on these ads. For the best of everyone's interests and that this forum doesn't support payday loans in anyway, we have mentioned it in our TOS, point number 12. Please have a look. 
Thanks for your understanding.
Regards
Mike
