Google No-Death Ad Policy

by Gilad on April 7th, 2006

Surprisingly Google is showing some consideration to it’s users, even it’s free users at Gmail. A recent thread at V7N reads:

Someone told me about this yesterday…and I’m wondering if anyone else has heard of it. You know how you get relevant ads in your gmail? Well, someone told me that if you type in something like “death” or “died” anywhere in the email, you’ll never get the ads b/c they don’t have things show up for that because someone could be sending someone an email about smoeone dying and they don’t want to offend anyone.

I sent an old email to myself, and inserted a new sentence “my doggie died”, and got no ads showing up.

Although some of the replies mentioned that ads still appeard, the general concensus is that ads are not triggered.
