Trying to block MFA's.

I don't understand this URL.

I'm runing a test where I am blocking MFA's.

I'm using the Adsense Preview tool with IE.

One advertiser's ad states a URL in the ad: widgets[dot]com

The advertisement really resolves to a page with the URL:
[pagead2.googlesyndication[dot]com...]

What is this? How do I block this?

Whose website is this? Adsense's?

I've reloaded this page about a zillion times and the widgets[dot]com URL never shows up in the browser's adderss bar.

If you enter that url manually, the referrer header will be empty.
Maybe they disallow such requests.

Useless Adsense Preview tool ;-) Doesn't even see half the MFA's I'm seeing!

Right click on the Ad title, then "Copy Shortcut", paste in Notepad...the URL is between "adurl=" and "&client".

And you are right - 100% of the .info domains were MFA's!
