If you use search partners and add a lot of domains into your site exclusion list, most of the time this feature doesn't work... the search partners will continue to show your ad... which bloats your cost sky high...

It could be, it could JUST be that the problem isn't another money grab by G, but that it doesn't appear that there IS a search partners site exclusion feature. So, if the feature doesn't work "most of the time" that'd be interesting. If it's working some of the time, but yet it doesn't actually exist, are you sure you aren't advertising to an alternate universe?

If you can direct to to where it's at, I'd be grateful.

This is one of those times in which I wish there was an 'Edit Subject Line' function. ;)

Asking before accusing is always a good thing <grin>

BTW, AW, I think there's a lot of confusion out here about the search network, and site exclusion. I know there's a fair number of people who don't realize that the search network is different from the google search pages.

Don't know what can be done about it, but it seems fairly common.

Hey, you got it wrong this time tsinoy and AWA's point is well made.
However, a search partners site exclusion feature would (at least to me) be a welcome addition. Does anyone know if such a feature is in G's future plans?

You raise an excellent point here rbacal. I recall being able to see who the search network partners were at campaign management level, is this still the case.
