    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.
