Competitive ad filter needs to be improved

fundamental issue

[Clark]

Like many, I've got a fair number of sites I manage. From computer stuff to niche stuff. To genericize it, when I get an ad from Ziff Davis on my car site, I want to filter it on that domain. But doing so filters a perfect ad from my computer site.

We need global filters and domain filters.

We need more than 200 of them as well.

Its not beyond the realms of possibility there are more than 200 clueless advertisers wanting to be seen on my site. Every time I ban some, CTR and EPM go up.

And now I'm running short of ban slots. I need either a spare Adsense account and to hive off some pages to a seperate domain, or to switch to Yahoo.

The URL filter is so badly thought out its a joke, and Google as an entity is so vain it cannot concieve that its targeting algo needs mere human intervention.

I would also like to ban ads from just a particular page. They can be a perfect fit for one page, but a tragic waste of pixels on another.
