Obviously you have the PG-13 version, but that's Vanna, thank god! Altho she's no AFF IMO.
Evony EVONY evONY
Witness, we may have made this much worse, google logic wise, by having an entire thread with "Evony" in the title and including numerous links to Evony related content. evoNY EVONY

Evony Evony evony eVony?
ENONY

Strange thing is even with all your keywords(you jerk ). I only seem to get the add on the main page not the sub boards.

Yes, everything in here is "Full Sail". He kind of provides some perspective on the issue, maybe

Anyone know what the proper pronunciation of "Evony" should be?

I just did. Seems to have solved the issue.

I would agree with banned. That's how I translate it inside my head as well.

They ain't half as annoying as those messages from "The Coach", but I guess you can't turn all the money down.

Actually, (sorry to continue this discussion)

It has almost become an "epidemic"....

See, google ads works by rotating the ads.....

So, if we had 100 advertiser links
and one advertiser has 31 different links to ads, then they get displayed more often then the remaining 69.

I have a friend that has a website that uses google ads to box her site (ads on both sides, top and bottom)
But, now, it has become the Evil game ad website.

And, if you were to google "Evony Spam" you will see just how much love the game has acquired by the propaganda campaign

Oh, and MK, the advert featuring a fairy was apparently taken from costumecraze.com, and was pulled for copyright infringements (Or so I'm told)

and here's an interesting article:

Yes, if you had read the thread you would have noticed the extensive discussion of this which already took place

And it's google, not evony, that is to blame for the consequences of google policies. If you feel strongly about this, you and/or your friend should write google with some criticism. I'm sure many people already have.

I help to maintain a site where we have a lot of daily links to news articles, and occasionally have to write to new organizations because some of them have outrageous redirect policies (either to advertising, or their front page) if you link to one of their articles. My general line is "We can no longer link to articles from your site because it makes us look like we post bad or false links...would you consider changing your policy?" Of course, this almost never works, but you might as well try to address the cause of the problem at the same time as you address the symptom, or else those symptoms will probably re-occur.

As long as we keep demanding the internet to be a free place built "by the people for the people", this is what we'll get. The alternative is much scarier.

Here! Here! Well said.

@nonoob: why don't you just use an adblocker like everyone else? Or do you get bonus points if the boss walks by and sees you contemplating that bland corporate "no fancy pants" tish* I bet MS paid the big bucks for something that most people could slap together in half an hour, severely drunk, which might explain why the OS is such a bargain Gag me with a spoon!

* "Hey nonoob! That is some responsible advertising on your desktop! Promotion!"

I've been doing some reading and it looks like the person in behind Evony, Eric Lam, also runs a chinese goldfarming operation and is facing a lawsuit from Microsoft for clickthough fraud.

It also looks like Lam is abusing the adsense system by using close to 100 different urls, making it virtually impossible to filter the ads.

Users are ........ed because they have to look at the ads.
Webmasters are ........ed because these ads are pushing out the relevant ads.
Google is doing nothing.

Correction, Google is continuing to make money while turning a blind eye.
