The "Adult" rating is for ads that are only acceptable to adults, for example adult dating, adult movies or adult pictures.

How does the ad's rating effect where the ad is shown? |

safe for children.

sites rated "Teen" and you will also have the option to target "Adult" rated
sites as well.
If the "Adult" rating is selected, the Targeted CPC (RON) ad will only run on
the Adult sites in the network.
