I've found four our site (we have 100's of keywords, but our "main" keyword) we are number one and two when you remove the filters, however we are much lower then that with the filters.

I participated in a new Filter (beta at that time) about a year ago and lost all traffic that had the filtered key-words. After eliminating all filters traffic came back little by little. Today I have no filters at all but ads only on our yellow-pages, that don't compete with our main business.

I believe the filters help find Google good places to put their ads, instead of your site, once they see the page-count.

Have a happy day
