Ephedra and ephedrine ads to be banned

July 21, 2007

Google sent me an e-mail today addressing me as an AdWords Advertiser, though they sent it to the e-mail account that I use for managing AdSense, for whatever that’s worth.

The note informed me that “in the coming weeks” Google will no longer accept AdWords ads promoting the sale of ephedra or “ephedrine-based” products. I was notified because Google’s system identified my account as being one that will potentially be affected by the change.

It actually surprises me that it took this long for Google to make the move. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
