The following documentation video shows how Clicksor’s advertising system for publishers has caused major problems on our websites. But before you watch it, let us explain briefly what exactly problems are with Clicksor’s adverting system for us.
We stopped supporting their ad system more than 9 months because using their ad codes caused a little problem. As shown in Screenshot 01, two words appear at the top of the web page. But because we had nothing else to display, we started using Clicksor’s ad codes from again about 4 weeks ago. And we continued to have the ‘Read more‘ problem.

After a while, Clicksor started delivering porn text ads to our websites. (See Screenshot 02.) We asked them to stop delivering them. Several days after, nothing changed. So we pushed it. Then they told us that one of our articles posted at this weblog was partly the cause of the porn problem. (See Screenshot 03.) By looking at the article in question, however, there is nothing that suggests that we want porn at this weblog. (See Screenshot 04.) By accepting their definition, your website will be labeled as porn-supporting if you write
Or how about Clicksor’s website itself? (See Screenshot 05.) Do they support child pornography? Also, the website of National Center for Missing & Exploited Children would be labeled as porn-supporting as well because its index page contains phrases including ‘sexual exploitation’ and ‘sex offenders.’

Anyway, a Clicksor representative said they would filter out porn text ads. Before they did, there were plenty of straight text ads. After they performed screening, there is no single text ad for us. So does that mean those ‘TrioComputers.com’ and ‘After Effects’ were actually porn websites? (See Screenshot 06-7.)
In the meantime, the Read more’ problem has transformed itself into a larger problem. Now, a blank inline text ad shows up at the top of the page. (See Screenshot 08.)

What does Clicksor have to say about this inline text label problem? Sales Director Ms. Poon writes
I am able to see textlink ads on other publishers’ websites without any problems. (See Screenshot 09.)
Well…
- We didn’t even enable inline text ads.
- There may be webmasters having problems with Clicksor’s inline text ads despite Ms. Poon’s statement.
Now, let’s see what we really mean.
