My websites are targeted to US and many more countries like India using adwords, so when i wanted to check the MFAs i get for Indian location is easy because i am from India, however its bit tough to track the MFAs i get for USA and other countries ... How to get hold of them?
Do we have any softwares to track them? Do we have any other easy way to track them or get hold of them?
Maybe you should also ignore the whole thing and spend your energy on creating quality content instead.
I always try to create content and at last i have more than 20000 quality pages...
When i see my adsense report it shows 100+ clicks and i have earned only 20- , some thig which i have to think about because i am also spending more for adwords...
OK, so you have the content so now spend your energy on your traffic! Improve your SERPs and it will take care of your clicks. Your problem is probably not MFAs but low traffic.
PS 100+ clicks and i have earned only 20- 20 what? if it's $ it makes it 20 cents per click which is not too bad (if I can state this without knowing your niche).
I have not appointed any one but i am developing it from last few years....
I know i can use proxy to check the MFAs but still getting proxy is not free and i dont want unnecessary problems with my adsense account..
Do we have any other easy method to track them?
i dont want unnecessary problems with my adsense account.
trraju, I meant viewing your site (and the ads displayed), not clicking on your own ads with proxies.
Unfortunately, despite being (almost) god, Google still has not managed to come up with a decent (Firefox or Opera compatible) AdSense preview. Looks like they don't care.

Quality content is the key to adsense success, but having quality content does not stop MFA's alone - you have to block them.
My site has been online since 2000, is a respected and oft-quoted site and I have had people ask to publish sections of it in their books (so much nicer than just stealing it don't you think :) ) It's currently at number 4 on Google for my keywords, and gets good traffic.
The problem is that the keyword for some unknown reason is seen as a high paying one, and the sector has attracted a lot of the arbitrage crowd. A google search for the keyword will typically throw up 75% of ads on the search page being MFA's. The fact that ads show mostly on MFA's, or get shunted off the search page in favour of MFA's has driven a lot of the good advertisers who used to advertise in the sector away from adsense. They no longer use it to advertise on search, let alone content because of the problem. I've had conversations with some of the advertisers concerned and like it or not, arbitrage drives away good smalltime advertisers - the bulk of my income.
No matter how good your content is, you can still suffer badly at the hands of the arbitrage crowd. Yes, it's good advice to concentrate on content, but at the same time you have to have a good strategy for dealing with the arbitrage problem - especially if your sector has been invaded by them.
If you have huge sites spread over many domains then blocking is a waste of time as you only have 200 url's in the filter. OK, you may get rid of a few MFA's but that would be the tip of the iceberg. Many people here are not in that situation. A lot of us have only one site because we have found a niche that works, or only have a few sites. For many of us blocking is extremely effective at protecting our income against MFA's, and can be done without a great deal of time being spent on it if you block intelligently and adopt much of the advice in this forum.
After looking to all your posts it shows that even you are not enjoying the so called MFAs..
so can you suggest me the best way to get more income out of my websites which can be a descent profit after paying my adword bills?
regards
It usually provides good results.
Hi david,

If you look way back, you'll see that I was pontificating about the positive effects of blocking before it became fashionable. So yes, it's fair to say that I don't enjoy MFA's :)

Probably asking the wrong person about making a profit through adwords / adsense arbitrage. The best I've ever managed has been to break even. Mind you, I usually run campaigns to attract visitors and not necessarily to make a profit from the new visitors. I have a theory that arbitrage works better when you have no content, and thats why I think I don't do well at arbitrage - visitors read the content and ignore the ads.
