"Larger advertisers fleeing from the open marketplace has cleared the way for smaller, sometimes subpar advertisers, slipping through filters and appearing on publisher sites," wrote Digiday.

“Publishers are generally taking ads that they might in the past have rejected due to quality issues or the advertiser category,” said Matt O’Neill, general manager, Europe, The Media Trust, to Digiday.

"Advertisers have until the end of August to fix the issue, Google announced Thursday."
