Natural Gas "Dyers"

[Anonymous]

I'm not usually one to point out typos, but the Google ad link for www.washingtongasliving.com that appears below the DCUM logo on some pages has said "Natural Gas Dyers" for as long as I can remember - months! Maybe years! And it's starting to drive me a little crazy! So I'm seizing the moment and calling it to your attention. Any way to correct it? Thanks.

I don't have control over that advertisement which comes via Google Adsense. More than likely, Google doesn't have editorial control over the ad either. It's up to whoever posted the ad with Google to get the spelling correct. I can block the ad completely if that will save your sanity?

I was about to post the same thing. It is making me mental. I know there are more important things in the world that I should be worrying about.

I tried going to their site to see if I can email them and tell them to check their spelling...no luck.

I'm the OP. Sorry for the delay - I was away from posting over the weekend. I feel better after venting (about the dryer, heh, heh), and am pleased to know that at least one other person is driven bats by this. If you want to block it, that would be fine with me! Thanks.

After looking into this more, I'm sorry to say, but you will just have to deal with "dyers". I signed on to Google Adsense to block it and it looked like it was going to be a lot of trouble to block it the "right way". Blocking it the "wrong way" would have been easier, but I don't want to do that.

Moreover, I also clicked on the ad and it actually goes to a pretty interesting website. I didn't realize that the ad is ultimately sponsored by Washington Gas. Unfortunately, they don't provide any contact info on the website so I couldn't contact them to let them know about the misspelling.

Well, thanks anyway for giving it a try.

I finally found someone to contact regarding the "dyers" ad. I also informed them of the subsequent "Tanklees Water Heaters" ad. I think both advertisements have been withdrawn as I haven't seen them here in a few days.

OP checking in to say hooray! Thanks for keeping at it. Yes, I almost fell off my chair laughing about the tanklees water heaters!

I saw the "tanklees water heaters" ad today. I'm starting to think it is some sort of conspiracy to drive me completely insane.

OK, now I am certain it is a conspiracy. It said "tanklees" right before I wrote that last post and now it says "tankless".

No, you are not crazy. I just saw it:

It now says tankless on some pages and tanklees on others! Now that's entertainment!

They finally fixed "dryers". I am thrilled....and realizing that I need to get out more.
