You should be able to add "domainname.dk, domainname.de" etc., to your competitive ad filter.

Do you know for sure that you have no Danish visitors? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Norwegian and Danish sufficiently alike that a Dane could read it?

If so, you might not want to block such ads.

And you may not NEED to block them. If no one clicks on them, they will gradually drop down the ad ranks, and disappear.

is sthis how adsense works?

[joaquin112]

yes - it's called smart Adsense - get used to it

[hunderdown]

The idea is that if you have a 4-ad block, for example, the ad that gets to be in the top spot is the one that earns you and Google the most money, considering both the click value and the click-through rate. The second ad earns the second-most, and so on.

Google does try out new ads, but if they aren't getting clicks, they will, sooner or later, drop down the ranks and disappear from your site.

Unless the system isn't working properly. an ad that is in a language that none of your visitors can read should not last long. Of course, if some of your visitors are Danish, and they click on the ad, then it won't disappear.
