I had this experience recently, too and had the same concern. My ad
said "If you think your Dr. is a drug pusher, click here" and this
is because of the overwhelming requests we get at our site for
alternatives to drugs which Dr.'s constantly prescribe. We felt it
would target our audience appropriately, but the banner agency nixed
it. We changed the banner for the agency, but use the banner as an
exchange with other linked sites. Hands down we get more clickthroughs
from linked sites than the agency. Why do we need agencies if they're
going to dictate what our banner says?
