It dismays me whenever I see a pseudoscientific young-earth creationist or intelligent design advertisement that has been added to a science blog because of shared keywords that suggest it might be of interest to the blog’s readership. For instance, this came up on a post on the primate family tree in the Google Reader feed: 
The post cites peer-reviewed scientific research, offers charts and diagrams, and yet it is accompanied by an ad that suggests that some guy with a blog who is doing nothing but repeating long-answered falsehoods and misconstruals gets to add an ad advocating his message?
I hope Science Blogs ditches Google Ads – I don’t know how much they earn, but I think all educators would agree that it isn’t worth it.
