Paper Lantern adds

[BrunoSupremo]

All adds are about paper lantern lol
(don't know why the adds are targeting only that instead of the many other keywords in the page)
I think it is a waste as it is obviously not interesting to the user. Anyway to improve that?

I think it's somehow based on the URL, and cPanel's default theme is Paper Lantern and they include it inside the URL.

Media.net allows you to block certain keywords from appearing in ads...

...and of course it doesn't even work. I have paper, lantern, paper lantern, etc blocked, but it still does that.

We get a little ad revenue just from people viewing the ads though, and that's better than not getting any ad revenue at all. We can't use adsense on cpanel ads because adsense is really strict about not sending them personally identifiable information, and since cpanel deals with email addresses those are considered PII. We used to have adsense on cpanel and we almost got our account blocked because of that PII issue.

An idea I've had that could fix that is I could duplicate the paper_lantern theme and name it something like free_hosting instead. I should put some effort into that because if people were actually interested in the ads we could probably make a lot more money.
