We've been kicked out of Google AdSense and adBrite denied my request to use their ad network.

Google sent me this letter on March 15th: Google Letter 1

They had threatened us back in October of 2011. I was prepared, and had a backup plan: apply at adBrite.

Joining was easy, but their reviewers rejected us.

You can read through the emails exchanged:

adBrite 1 ( to us )
adBrite 2 ( from us )
adBrite 3 ( to us )
adBrite 4 ( from us )
adBrite 5 ( to us )



Essentially, they rejected us for being an adult site. Which is false, but I accept we have some images that are NSFW. I asked them for guidance as to what they considered adult.

Their answers basically came down to "anything that might make an adolescent male giggle or say BOOBS ". If I removed everything past that threshold, there wouldn't be an ACDB left.

I didn't see many options, clearly they don't want us. So I asked what was the deal between them and fakku.net And they replied with even more hostility.

So be it.

Anime Characters Database will not be supported by advertisements for the foreseeable future.


I will be running JList promotions for the time being. JList does not pay me for showing their ads. They only pay me a commission on sales. You can support the site by clicking one of the JList banners and shopping at JList.
