Adsense Filtering

[MKInfo]

Does anyone running a Myspace site use ad filtering in Adsense?
If so what are the results like?I was just reading this interesting thread over at DP : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=223036
Thanks

Im using the filtering since a week ago, for sites like ebay.com, ebay.co.uk and lulu.com, they are bigs '1c' publishers and it can improve your cpm, in my case I have seen a little improve in the earnings, but is soon to make a conclusion.
Good luck

Filtering other myspace resource sites is pretty useless.. your CTR drops and the eCPM doesn't move one bit :(

adsblacklist.com is pretty good.. I'll generate a list and add them to the filter and let you know how it goes.

Are they actually filtering the ads?I started 2 days ago and I'm still seeing ebay although Lulu have gone.

Yes they are, usually the ads are filtered 24-48hs after the setup.

You'll have to check the urls of these Ebay ads, maybe they are using other urls then you're blocking.

Since i turned on the filtering my ctr is down about 2% although the ebay ones are still showing.Wierd.

I just signed up and I knew about ebay.. and not wanting their ads.. So one of the first things I did was filter them out.. and i havent seen any ebay ads yet.

Getting 10 cents a click today with filtering on.

Damn thplooy...what ads are you filtering...?

I've seen a rise in my CTR since i blocked ebay and have seen my weekday earnings actually rise. i'm getting between 2 and 3 cents a click average, but before filtering it was more between 1 and 2.

I need to find out some of the other myspace resource sites which are paying only 1c a click, but its hard to determine. I see pretty much the same sites on my site all the time, starts to get annoying...

Slightly OT, because of the topic linked here to digital point: I just got adlogger and installed it, shocking how many clicks come from the same IP address... I had to turn e-mail alerts off, it was one every 30 seconds alerting me of 5+ clicks on a certain IP in one session. Must have been some kind of bot, I blocked it.

Anyone else experience this kind of click click click from the same IP? I have given up blocking, and reset the limit to 10, but it's still telling me 10+ clicks from single IPs...

I was filtering ebay and lulu.com, and I used adsblacklist.com to filter out some more advertisers.

I have to add that my ctr has dropped a lot.

Adlogger isn't even working for me.
adsense shows that i get like 20 new clicks, that i am credited for, but adlogger shows NONE.

Ditto.Although it does show signs of creeping up again.My ecpm has gone up though.Adsense crawler was all over my site today and yesterday see attached image.
Looks like the SE's love me :yes:

And today is completely different.
Receiving 4.5 cents a click.

I started filtering a couple of months ago and have definitely seen a marked improvement on my earnings per click. I used http://adsenseblacklist.com to figure out who to block.

Only links I have blocked are ebay ones and 1 MFA site, and I average about 6-9 cents a click.
