I find it interesting that there are ads for four "teen help" businesses on this very same page.

These ads are google sponsored ads. I don't think sites have any control over their content.

No they don't - and it is a real shame.
The Voy board also has adds for these places scrolling at the top.
If I understand correctly - the add buyers pay to have there adds on sites with certan "key" words and as a result they get placed on sites that are in opposition, as well as in the same business.
I think they pay per click; so it cost more if they get a lot of clicks as a result of the add, and less if there is no responce.

Better click them a lot then!

Seriously, it's a bit like that executive talking about "imprints" when his products were being advertized on Brat Camp.  I know it costs money to run a website but I really do think the operator should re-think the idea of letting Google advertize on his site.

LOL- What a great idea. Someone with computer programming experience should make a program that just constantly clicks there ads. Bleed them dry in one day!

In reference to the ads placed on the site:  Honestly any "program" would be a better choice than that of TB.  As a former student I would have to advise sending your child to a month long boot camp rather than a 6 level program in a foreign country.  Your choice.  Although I am not a fan of either.  Scaring the shit out of a child may have them being "respectful" for a short time, instead of a temporary fix--why not seek out real professional help? i.e. people with licenses, degrees... not foreigners who make their income off sitting on your children (restraints) and yelling orders, just my opinion. Than again, I am no parent.

Yet you are smarter than SO many parents out there who still choose to send their kid to TB and other WWASP programs. Welcome to fornits.

Hello... I am the admin of the site... I too don't care for the ads and will most likely take them off altogether very soon... I wrote up a big piece at the bottom of the site about it and put a poll up so that people can give their opinion which I would stick with... only 2 people have responded... both don't like the ads... I hate em lol...
I wrote an email to google about it, and I got the normal 'that's the way we do it, sorry **But we appreciate your Input** :-/'...
