Lately a few readers experienced an unauthorized redirection to spam advertisers when surfing on the mobile version of 43rumors.com. This is an issue with the google Adsense advertisement network and (and not depending from 43rumors). It is affecting many sites (Read the report on Petapixel for example).
What’s happening is that some third-party advertisers is playing against the google advertisement rules. And I need to report this to google. So it would be helpful if you send me the following info when you get redirected:
1) Send me a screenshot and the URL address of the advertiser
2) Tell me the country you are currently located when surfing
All the info can be sent to 43rumors@gmail.com.
Thanks!
