I started going through all my pages 4 months back and using the preview tool, added EVERY garbage, scam, MFA, fake search engines with ads everywhere, etc to the filter. I did this in 2 week intervals.
I did it to EVERY site that has no product to sell directly and that is supported only by affiliates, adsense, yahoo ads etc.
Every two weeks my income went from an average of 85/95, up to an average of 140/150 dollars daily lately. Traffic didnt change by any real amount, and I have not updated the site(s) in over a year because I was ill.
Now the filter is full. I have no wish to allow any scraper/content free sites back. They contribute nothing, and only add to the real advertisers expense as an extra "layer" of payment. This means real genuin useful content sites like mine get less money, advertisers get less return on investment.
I have tried removing temporarily all of the filtered list. Income falls in a few days quite drastically. And worse the mfa sites are obviously making the money for no real work. I hate this more!
So now what? What do you do?
you could then delete the oldest additions to the filter, hoping against hope that the advertiser had stopped their campaign by now.
what i finally had to do was to get rid of adsense on some sites, and go with ypn... certain sectors of adsense are so overrun with garbage that it's impossible to keep the ads on target, and they don't pay for squat.
ypn may be off-topic, but at least you get real money from real companies for it.
I wrote AS before the big AdWords changes asking for more space.
They advised that they didn't have that in their plans.
With the AdWords changes my income shot way up and I stopped checking.
Now income is falling and when I checked just a few pages yesterday there were two or three quick money, e-mail harvesters or MAFs in ever country check.
Either G has loosened the filters or these guys have found a way around them.
ASA please give us more blocking space. 1000 URLs would be a good start.
Cant do this because they may just be gone temporarily! They dont need (or get) search traffivc usually but buy it. So they can come and go as they wish.
