The Foolproof Way to Block Gmail Ads

I've been reading about a hack where people add tragedy keywords to their email signature to force Gmail into 'respect' mode -- a mode designed to prevent displaying ads for "Blazin' Fast Back-ups" next to an email about a children's hospital fire. In fact, if Gmail determines a subject matter might be sensitive it will suppress all advertising.

Google being Google, this determination is made with a statistical algorithm. And of course with statistical methods like this it's all about the ratio of disaster words to non-disaster words (one determined individual posits a ratio of 167:1). While adding words like death, fire, earthquake etc. to a signature may prevent advertising within a one or two paragraph email, it probably isn't going to work for longer emails where the standard words overruled the tragic ones.

I took it upon myself to come up with a more robust method. It's both simple to implement and 100% effective when installed correctly. Take a look...
