Normally when I view Demonland I get no ads because I've paid my subscription. However, sometimes I view Demonland from an iPad when not logged in, so I get adverts. Some of these adverts are for dating agencies, personal contact, women seeking men etc.

There has been concerned expressed that while these sites are not necessarily dangerous in themselves, clicking through from these sites can easily lead to exposure to pornography and downloading X-rated cookies.

The letter below from describes the issue:

Another parent complained:

"We had an episode with our son, not the same but scary like this, last weekend and we thought we were tough. It can happen to anyone. We have now taken the Internet and google off his iPad (even though we had all restriction settings on high and explicit content off etc.) He has to ask to us if he wants to search something. We are now researching a program to aid in helping stop this from happening. And for how long it will keep these disgusting people overriding it I'm not sure."

I would just like to know what controls Demonland has in place to filter adverts that show on the site, and to avoid possible "X-rated click through" issues. I'm mainly concerned about junior Demon followers who read here.

    Demonland cannot control the browsing habits of visitors in regards to clicks throughs they make after they leave the site. As part of our partnership with google Ads we do not allow ads to pornographic or gaming sites.

    The ads that are displayed for individuals will differ based on the users browsing habits and the content that is already on Demonland.

    I know that, but I think that's somewhat avoiding the issue. The sites that show on Demonland often 'secondarily' click through to pornographic sites if they are clicked.

    I've received many advertisements when I'm not logged in for sites promoting Thai girls, sexy singles, dubious dating sites etc. Just because they're from Google doesn't mean they're 'safe'. I think maybe you should further limit the Google adverts that display away from dating agencies and singles.

    I'm just trying to both protect kids from unfortunate collateral exposure and maintain the integrity of Demonland as a site for viewers of all ages.

    Parents of children should be monitoring their childrens online browsing habits. It is their responsibility not mine. The ads form a part of our revenue and as I said previously we cannot control the browsing habits of visitors in regards to click throughs they make after they leave the site. We do not link to pornographic or gaming sites nor are we morality police.

    The ads that appear for you will not necessarily appear for the next person as most of the ads generated are based on that individuals browsing habits and the profile that google has created for you based on those habits. I and Demonland have no control over that.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
