Paying Adsense for Filter Space

[Content_ed]

I wonder is anybody has ever suggested to Google that they could sell enhanced services to publishers, like expanding the competitive ad filter for a buck a domain. We're up to 189 MFA's in the filter at the moment, and I think we could justify paying for additional banning slots. It's more the appearance of the goofy MFA ads than the revenue they cost us for a day or two before Google switches them out for real advertisers that would motivate us.

For Google, the revenue loss from more filter slots is likely to be a bigger concern than the additional server overhead--and a dollar fee per blocked domain over the existing limit isn't likely to cover that.

Just about daily, someone suggests on some forum that google should charge [insert group here] for some specific enhanced service. Google has never done it, and they are unlikely to ever do it. That just leads to all sorts of extra work and liabilities.

If they were to offer an expanded filter list to a limited audience, you can bet it would be free to a group where it would be to Google's advantage, not necessarily the publisher's.

In 31.01.2007 I tried to filter some domains but in adition to those filtered before,I reached 225.
I was so angry and decided to clear all from my filter list.
Guess what...Next day 01.02 earnings raised by 30%.
Yesterday I filtered 32 domains and today earnings go down.
Tomorow if they will be the same I will clean the whole list.
