To "top" or to "bottom" in personal ads can refer to either male homosexual acts or bondage-domination / sado-masochism (or "bdsm") acts. In bdsm, "topping" is being the dominant person in a consentual situation involving humiliation, physical pain, tying up or any number of fringe sexual practices. "Bottoming" is being the submissive in this type of activity. In homosexual intimacy, these terms usually refer to anal sex where the "top" gives and the "bottom" receives.

In short, when you see "top" in a personal ad, it refers to a person being the aggressor, and the "bottom" being the submissive or receiver.

What makes a bad ad?

Ads exist for one reason and one reason only, to influence people in some way, whether that is to influence them to buy or to influence them to your point of view. A bad ad is one that does not get the response that you desire. If you want more people to buy your product and it doesn't happen then the ad is bad. If you want to drive people to a web site and it doesn't happen then the ad is bad. One ad can be good and it can also be bad. It could be that you use the same ad in two different publications, in one it gets the response you desire in the other it doesn't. So the ad is good in one set of circumstances but bad in another. You could say here that the ad placement choice was bad and not the ad itself. It should have either been a different ad for that publication or that publication should not have been used.
