Wow, I never get any money from adsense, but I’m definitely going to apply this knowledge and see if I can get that to change. Thanks so much. I love this site.

Great, AdsBlackList really does work, I guess.

But does it justify the membership fee?

And is there any free site which does the same?

Surely, they arent the only one in the field.

Scott,

Site targeted ads must still compete with other ads. The CPM paid for targeted ads must average out to what Google calculates for the CPC ads for them to be displayed. So regardless of the ad type, Google aims to show the one that will generate the most revenue. At least, that’s how I understand the system.

Ads displayed on your website are not necessarily the highest paying, your site oculd be targetted directly by low paying advertisers.

I don’t get it. Perhaps I didn’t read your example well.

If those ads are showing, then they should be the highest paying ads.

You said that clicks were ok, so your visitors were clicking on those ads.

If you filter those ads, then adsense will be showing lower paying ads.

Any thoughts?

This type of information is something every beginning, midlevel and even advanced Adsense publisher needs to know.

Thank You Very Much. . .

Consider this site subscribed. . .

BTW I’m using wordpress for my site as well with Gregarious? Is that the plugin your using for the Digg badge and other Social Bookmarking?

I’d like to think that filtering MFA sites actually works, but no one has explained to me how it could make a difference. After all, Google is determining which ads to show based on their bid. If the low bidding MFA sites appear on your site then doesn’t that mean that there are no other higher bidders?

I’ve seen such declines with my earnings too. I always bounce back without doing anything.

Not that I’d expect you to take the revenue hit, but it’d be interesting to see what would happen to your earnings if you cleared out the competitive filter list.
