I can't advertise on my site because of distasteful content

I seem to be having problems with advertisers on my site, pulling the ads even though there is no porn, hate, swearing etc.

Can't seem to figure out what the problem is that they have with my site, it's just a men's Ezine which gives free dating advice to dudes.

    I took a look at your site (assuming it's the one in your signature), and I agree that there's isn't anything blatantly obvious for them to not want to advertise on your site.

    My guess is that overall it has a "sexual tone" to it, and could be considered something some advertisers want to distance themselves from. I'm figuring you'll just get guesses here, possibly contact the advertisers that they're the only ones that could give you a 100% for sure reason.

    By the way, I do like the site, it looks pretty good and very brand-able domain name.

    Yes, I think a site that says "attract and seduce beautiful women like a player" would definitely be considered an "adult" site.

    "Adult" doesn't mean porn. It means anything a parent wouldn't want their under-18 kids to look at when they aren't around. Especially to ever-sensitive advertisers.

    I doubt many parents would want their 15-year old joining a "special community" of "world wide seduction experts".

    The emphasis of the site is sex and picking up women, not bachelor cooking and balancing school and dating.

    Hey, I checked out your site, WayOfThePlayer... I agree with
    JayKnight that it's a good looking site with a brand-able domain
    name.

    You are having problems with advertisers in what way?

    1. Not getting enough advertisers?

    2. Advertisers don't like what you are having on your site?

    For point 1... I suspect it's because you don't have a clear
    area for people to advertise on your site. The closest you've
    got is a "Partner" page.

    You can check out different sites in the make money online niche
    and find out how they attract advertisers by showing how their
    site is suitable for people in that niche.

    For point 2... it's your site really. While there are certain things
    you can change on your site, you don't have to please all of
    them.

    He who tries to please everyone pleases no one. And it's your
    site. It's your rules. So you decide, man =)
