Google released its Better Ads Report 2015 and Mike O’Brien at Clickz.com brokedown the report. It seems that Google blocked 780 million bad ads in 2015.

From ClickZ:

Some of the main perpetrators include:

• More than 12.5 million pharmaceutical ads violating Google’s healthcare policy, which doesn’t allow misleading claims or products that haven’t been approved.
• Scammers – more than 30,000 of them – peddling supplements that promised impossible-to-achieve weight loss
• Nearly 7,000 phishing sites that trick people into giving their personal information
• Ads that trick people into interacting, such as those designed to look like warnings from the computer.
• Unwanted software that can slow down your devices or change your homepage. Google disabled more than 10,000 sites like this, as a result, reducing unwanted downloads from ads by 99 percent.
• Counterfeiters, such as those selling imitation watches or Canal Street’s finest “Louie Vitton” bags. More than 10,000 sites and 18,000 accounts were suspended for this.
