Why is it that you can not block specific domains from the search network? I know you can block them from the content network, but if you have a site on the search network that is sending you junk traffic, the only way to block them is to turn off the entire search network.

You can block specific domains in Yahoo ads on the search network.

This seems rather counter productive sense now instead of Google making money from my ads on their search network, because I want to block one domain I have to block the entire seach network which has some good sites on it, so now they don't get any added revenue and I also lose out.

Seems to me that the brain trust in the plex could of added the feature in rather simply.

There have been requests to get more options for search partners, but for some reason, Google has not given much so far.

Two major points for search, something that we already have for content:

- domain reporting
- domain exclusion

There are some incredibly poor junk sites in the search network now. Even some of the sorriest article sites are partners now. I can’t believe Google can supervise many of these sites or is actually interested in doing so. Advertisers definitely need more control over the search partners.

I also vote for full disclosure by Google of the partners involved in the search network. This should never have to be requested. Perhaps AA can finally do something for us all and show everybody who they are. Not a very difficult request.

This tells all. Let advertisers supervise their space.

I actually would like to be able to do placements in the Search Partners network. I just started working on an account that has the highest number of conversions off Parked Domains that I have ever seen. Perfectly willing to spend more money there - but I need to be able to choose which domains. Unfortunately, I can't. It's all or nothing.
