My filter is full, what can I do now?

Fooled by parked domains with MFA content

[SEOPTI]

Okay, parked domains start to fool me, they register a domain
parkedmfacrap. I go ahead and filter it. Next day they realize it has been filtered and set up the same crap at parkedmfacrap1.

I filter them. Next day same game parkedmfacrap2.
Then it's getting better parked-mfa-crap

My filter is full, what can I do now?

I think they don't even need to register this domain, juster enter it into the adwords URL field. This makes it easy for them to fool publishers.

I just wrote to them about this very same rampant problem today.

Write to the ADWORDS team and CC your AdSense support and SCREAM about their crappy landing page quality control system they hoot about because it SHOULD easily detect domain parks.

Heck, I have filters in my web site (a directory) that can detect domain parks so if I can do it, so can AdWords/AdSense and it doesn't take a PhD to implement a simple filter!

Seeing that a lot of MFA sites are .info, I think there should be an option to block all .info sites but with an anothrt option to include "good" .info sites.

That way we do not have to keep filtering out MFA sites and filling up the filter list, and hopefully make it harder for these MFA sites to operate.

Keep a copy of the already filled filter to a text file and start over again with new ones you find. I do this about once a month, and it seems to help. Really, they should have an unlimited filter in place, not this low limit of 200.

We're also seeing this MFA by the numbers garbage ads crop up now, amidst some of the first targetting problems we've seen in a year. When Adsense breaks, it really, really, breaks.

OK, I'm no PhD, but when someone advertises in Google with DNS servers ns1.parked.com and ns2.parked.com you can flag that ad for human review as there's a good chance it's a domain park!

LOL Human review... now you're just being silly ;)
