How to get rid of MFA's

Is Google up for it?

I always remove ads for websites purely made for adsense from showing up on my adsense ad unit on my website by adding them to the competitor filter. I think such ads not only pay low but also make my website look cheap. I just hate the feeling that a regular user on my website would click on one of the ads and it would turn out to be a "Definition of ------" and more adsense ads. It kind of makes them weary of the ads and they tend to avoid them more after getting hit by a few MFA's.

If Google gives us an option to remove all ads that lead to pages with more ads I would happily sign up. I want my users to find products and services and NOT more and more ads to "Links" to products and services and info about products and services.

I am sure this probably will have a financial effect on Google but somehow I think it will be in their best interest to give preference to their genuine advertisers. It will also probably make the users less weary of the ads and they would start trusting the ads more.

Even if they don't give us an option to remove those kinds of MFA ads - If there could be someway Google could let us boost the product ads by checking if the landing page has adsense it would be of great help.

I've never understood this logic. 75% of the sites running adsense use it as their main/singular source of income - eg: mfa.

If you wanted to get rid of mfa's - Google could do it simply by denying any url with the letters b.l.o.g in them ;)

Well I would probably not want to remove blog ads as these pages still add some value. The user may find some useful opinions. It's the MFA's - stuff which just has one line of text and three ad units.
