Having an Issue With an Ad? Here’s What to Do
We work hard to make the First Five a safe, useful, and educator-friendly resource. We maintain strict filters and restrictions across all inappropriate advertising categories, but despite our best efforts, bad actors occasionally slip through and we want to block them right away.
Because ads are served through multiple advertising networks and can vary by location, device, and browsing history, our team may not be able to see the same ad you are seeing. The information below helps us and our advertising partner identify and address the specific ad as quickly as possible.

How to Report an Ad Directly
The fastest and most effective way to report an inappropriate, misleading, or disruptive ad is through the Mediavine Ad Reporter.
- Look for the small M or Mediavine logo in the top corner of the ad.
- Click the logo.
- Select Report Ad.
- Choose the reason you are reporting it and submit the form.
This reporting tool collects the technical information Mediavine needs to identify which advertising partner served the ad. Reports are sent directly to Mediavine’s Ad Operations Team for review.
Can’t Find the Report Button?
You can also report the ad directly to the Edtomorrow team. Please send any of the following information to info@edtomorrow.com:
- A screenshot that shows the entire ad
- The website address the ad opens when clicked
A screenshot and the destination link can make it much easier for the advertising team to investigate and block the ad from appearing on our site.
Thank you for helping us keep the First Five appropriate and useful for educators and students. We take these reports seriously and appreciate you providing the details our team needs to address them.
