Adsense URL filter- affiliate sites and multiple sites

filter prevents ads across all your sites? Block an affiliate site only?

If I block a poorly targeted URL from one site, then it wont appear on any of my sites, yes?

The question I have is- in adsense url filtering, how do you block an affiliate-linked site without blocking the actual site?

Case in question- an affiliate ad for ebay is appearing on one of my sites, but its not targeted correctly. If I block the url ebay.com then I've stopped every ebay ad from ever appearing on any of my sites. Is that correct?

Do you suppose I could just block the 'quicksrv' link and not the ebay URL?

If the ads are using ebay.com as the destination or the display URL, you can block them by adding ebay.com to the filter.

However, if it is using something other than ebay.com, you would need to use that for blocking instead.

Do keep in mind that if you block the quicksrv URL, it won't just block the ebay ads, but block all ads that are using that CJ URL - which could potentially mean a lot of lost click revenue.

Thanks. The ad displays the ebay.com url, but the link is actually a CJ link. If I block the affiliate using the URL ebay.com, then will that block all ebay ads from every site I use adsense on (I dont really want to block them all, just this one affiliate)?
