"Perhaps this is proof that social networking ads aren't big earners: Google has pulled all AdSense ads from Orkut.  They're now calling the deployment of ads on the search engine's popular social network a \"test\" run, and the decision to pull all ads suggests that the test didn't deliver high returns.\nBut lack of revenue isn't the direct cause of the ads being pulled: instead, the WSJ says it's a reaction to complaints from SaferNet, a Brazilian nonprofit group.  Orkut is huge in Brazil and India, but not a big player in the US market; the Brazilian group alleged that by displaying ads next to child pornography and other illegal content posted to the site, Google was profiting from these crimes.  \nFollowing this logic, Google should also pull its ads from MySpace, where they feature next to photos of scantily clad young users.  ;)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
