It is no secret I love to write-this is what I do and usually, when i write on one of my many blogs across the internet it's to either share a piece of history, an intersting article or words of inspiration. Not so today my fellow bloggers! Today, I come here to blog about the apparent lack of protection we as Bloggers appear to be dealing with...and from the most unlikliest of sources might I add! Now, it is a well-known fact that most Blogs such as the one I am typing from now, have Google as their host. I have come to admire the many tools Google has to offer the serious and devoted Blogger, especially now as I join ranks with a family of other great bloggers within my Baby Boomer Diva group. We came together, as women on a mission! All of us age 40+, and all with some wonderful backgrounds. The vast talents we bring to the table are too numerous to list but let's just say we are a collected group of women in many roles, either running a business from home or a career in another work-place. We share a common goal and dream. To show others that there's no limit to your goals, and no reason not to get out there and pursue that dream! We are living proof it can be done, and as part of this team-effort, we alos share our ideas with others so that the message is passed along....Using the world wide web helped to unite an amazing group of women, and today, our head Diva went one step further by releasing a Press release for others to read-Yes, on a Blog. We have stepped up the pace and many are now being featured for their efforts and contributions to society-We happily took turns today in adding our own comments to this release, so you can imagine our disappointment and disgust when we noticed a couple of advertisements popped up, with absolute profanities and filth beside our names! Where did they come from?? Well, it seems Google are slipping BIG TIME! These two degrading ads belong to them. How did they wind up on a blog?? We have NO IDEA but as DIVAS, we won't stop until this problem has been sorted and the putrid words removed!
So, Google, if it can happen to us, where else are they popping up? Let;s hope we see an answer to this and a guarantee it doesn't happen again!

Deb,
Thanks for bringing this to the attention of your readers and to the rest of the blogosphere. We should not allow things like this to go by us without speaking up.
We are baby boomer divas, respectable and classy. We are a force to be reckoned with!
It's scary when you allow outside venues to add content to your site. You have to trust them to be diligent and professional, as well as respectful of your wishes.
It's one of the hazards of affiliate advertising.
