This means that if you are using keyword blacklisted words in your content or URL of a published page, then the advertiser&#8217;s system blocks their ads from being shown on that specific page.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloggersideas.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">biggest ad networks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> do not allow you to display ads if words like bomb or sex are used. So if you are using this kind of word in your article, then ad networks will not show ads on your page.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, the amount of traffic you get becomes meaningless, because you cannot utilize it to make money.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, most ad networks are very strict when it comes to illegal, obscene, and adult content, and if you promote such content, there is a high chance that the ad network might disable your account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the main reasons why publishers do not like posting restricted content on their websites. Because a well-known brand will never want to display their ads on inappropriate content. Ad networks also keep that in mind and thus have strict rules.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While brands and ad networks are very interested in maintaining safety on the internet, publishers are not that happy about it as they end up losing revenue.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec461bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ec461bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>Why is Keyword Blacklisting a Problem in Ad Tech?<\/b><b style=\"font-size: 1.0625rem;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2991\" src=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/blacklisted.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/blacklisted.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/blacklisted-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/blacklisted-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the reasons why <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloggersideas.com\/helium-10-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keyword<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> blacklisting is a threat to publishers is because any word can potentially be blacklisted. Besides the obvious problem this poses (one day your content can be randomly demonetized), it also allows for manipulation, letting advertisers blacklist certain publishers by adding keywords they use to the blacklist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to published data the number of blacklisted keywords is increasing day by day. There are already more than 3000 blacklisted keywords available out there right now, and there is no limit on how many more can be blacklisted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are quite a lot of advertisers who use software and other different tools to detect and block restricted keywords, and if the publisher\u2019s content has one or more of those blacklisted keywords, then ads will not be shown on their page.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is kind of scary even if you do not publish sensitive content. For example, if your website is about photoshoots, then your content can be blocked because of the word \u201cshooting\u201d. This happens because ad networks look for specific keywords in your content and do not really see what your content is actually about.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the news about the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex leaving the Royal family have been really big recently. There were quite a lot of news outlets, magazines and websites covering the story. However, some stories were blocked from displaying ads as they contained the word \u201csex\u201d. So even though the content wasn\u2019t inappropriate, publishers still weren&#8217;t allowed to show ads on those articles.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, sports journalists often use keywords like injury, attack, kill, and so on. All of these are blacklisted words. As a result, sports news websites also face revenue loss.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to keyword blacklisting, the quality of the website&#8217;s content doesn&#8217;t matter. Publishers spend a lot of time creating the perfect content that can help users. And in return, they expect to make a good amount of revenue out of their content.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But because of keyword blacklisting, it has become quite hard these days. Even if you use certain keywords without any inappropriate meaning, there is no guarantee that the ads will be displayed on your website.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26ae66a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"26ae66a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>What are the possible solutions for Keyword blacklisting?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the easiest and most standard solutions for keyword blacklisting is definitely to avoid using blacklisted keywords and find synonyms instead.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is not always possible to stop using blacklisted keywords. In some cases they are unavoidable. For example, if you are a news website and your job is to deliver stories completely and clearly without hiding any details. So it is quite normal for you to use keywords like killed, injured, shot, rape, and others as you cover a story. There are no alternatives available for these keywords.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b><i>So what is the real solution?<\/i><\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to experts, the industry needs a smart solution, a system that does not just block content by finding unsafe keywords, but is smart enough to understand the context of the word used in a story.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the cool part is that Reach and IBM are already working on a solution. They have launched a platform called Mantis that uses IBM Watson to design a smart brand safety solution.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tool is used at the pre-publication stage, so publishers won\u2019t have to use tags on the page. And because the system is integrated into the publisher&#8217;s content management system, there will be no latency problems.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, Mantis will enable Reach to develop secure brand safety solutions at scale. They are planning to build sales incentives,\u00a0 so Reach is interested in other publishers using Mantis because it will become more efficient as more data will be fed into the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach is currently handling licensing queries in the UK, while IBM is covering the US market. Once the solution hits the market, blacklisted keywords will not be a problem for publishers anymore unless their content is actually inappropriate.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as of now, there is no information on when this technology is going to launch and become available to the public, or how much publishers will have to pay for using it. However, we will get to know more details about it soon.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bf217c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6bf217c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><b>Final Words:<\/b><\/em><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that was all for what is keyword blacklisting and why publishers are losing ad revenue to it.
