No more google adverts for @soc_imagination

There have been a few instances of really problematic adverts since I registered the site for Google Ads a year and a half ago. But Wonga is a step too far. I’ve been as picky as the system will allow me to be in setting which categories of advert are acceptable for the site but problematic things still turn up. It’s a shame because the ads were a useful contribution to the costs of the virtual server which I’m now quite attached to (which hosts Discover Society, Campaign for the Public University, Digital Sociology and others) but the site does look much better now the adverts are gone.
