Larry,

I should apologize for sounding flippant. It's actually not because I don't understand it. If you check out WebsiteMaven | Web Hosting Reviews, Guides, & Advice, I have actually spent a lot of time (in the past) understanding search engines. My knowledge is a couple of years dated but it's not completely antiquated yet. Adsense works by sensing the type of content that a site has. We actually don't use ad sense here to push ads.

Google Search, on the other hand, will drive ads based on keyword(s) that the user searches for. Since we don't really have a lot of keywords on this site that will cause objectionable ads to be included with the search results it's mostly a non-issue (the proverbial "Tempest in a Teapot"). I can assure you that if you searched for the top 100 keywords that people use for this site then they wouldn't produce any Ads because nobody creates a keyword ad for "Calvin killed Servetus".

I know there's a way to block the .01% case but I just would prefer to tell the user: "If you're really worried about it and think that your search term might produce a Sponsored Ad that will bug you then use the Advanced Search feature." As I said, you're likely to not find what you're looking for but at least you won't have to see what might happen if you type "divorce" and find ads for a divorce attorney.
