Search giant Google pulled more than 350 million suspicious advertisements off its site in 2013 – around a million a day – according to a new infographic it has released.
This was up 59% on the previous year’s figure of 220 million.
Ads pegged for removal included those spruiking counterfeit goods, malicious activity and others that appeared to spread viruses.
The infographic shows Google disapproved three million applications to join its network, and it banned more than 270,000 advertisers from using the network.
Around 14,000 advertisers were barred for trying to sell counterfeit goods, and two million ads were disabled for trying to sell counterfeit pharmaceuticals.
Googledisabled about 400,000 sites that hid malware, and another 10,000 for promoting get-rich-quick schemes.
