I just discovered that the ads Google serves you (that includes ads you see on ReasonTalk if you've disabled AdBlock) can be tuned individually. Just go to this page (while logged in to any Google service like GMail, YouTube, Search, etc):

https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads/authenticated

...and you can then ad or remove items from your center of interests!

They should be at the bottom of the page if the width of your browser window is less than 1400 pixels (the reason being that they are included in the sidebar, which is only shown to the right side if the browser is wider than 1400px). Not an ideal situation right now, we're trying to find a solution to this...

I can relate to that :)

Which browser are you using? I'm wondering whether there's something else than adblock, up the chain, blocking ads? Are you with Free (ISP)? They have a "block ads" option in the router options (although it's checked on my setup, it doesn't seem to filter anything at all, as I still get the ads). Maybe you're using a Hosts block list (adding know ad providers to the Hosts file in Windows)?
