I have some Questions about Blocking Unwanted Ads in AdSense...???

[AbdullahKaragoz]

Hi, AdSense experts!

If I don't misunderstood, in AdSense, it's possible to block some ad categories, and it's also possible to block some spesific ads or URL's right?

I want to block unrelated and bad ads, like gambling, betting, warlocks, dating sites etc.

And if needed, I'll also block spesific ads.

But I have some questions:

What is the limitations when blocking ads in AdSense?

How really effective is the blocking?

If I block (let's say) gambling category, will only English or American gambling ads blocked?

or will all gambling ads around the world be blocked so that visitors from other nations (e.g. Spain) wouldn't see any Spanish gambling ads?

How will blocking unrelated and unwanted ads in AdSense affect my AdSense revenues?

You can block ad categories, up to 50. You can also
block 500 urls.

You can also block "sensitive" categories without
counting towards the 50.

Just realize that by blocking ads that are appearing now,
you are blocking the highest paying ads. These ads won
the auction bid. Also, no matter what, the ads you see
are not 100% the same as someone else.

I know it's hard to trust google, but they have a plethora
of smart engineers doing things to put the best ads on
your site. Sometimes it's best to leave things alone.

If you have a new site, don't block anything for 2 weeks.
Then check the categories that are showing ads and getting
clicks. Leave those. Block the ones that are getting shown,
but no clicks.

Gambling ads are rare, and should only be shown to people in
countries that legally allow gambling. Online that is.
Gambling related, I suppose, is fair game.
