Hi all,

Do any of you know which Ad networks I are bad and that I should block from placing ads on my site? I see a long list, and I am not sure which ones to block or follow. Please share you thoughts on this. :confused:

    You should not block any. It's really a moot point. Your site will attract ads
    for what you are trying for, or darn close. If not, tweak the site. Block a network and
    you may block the best ads. There is no way anywhere near all networks are going
    to place ads on your site. Google bought doubleclick and that's really what they
    are referring to. You want the most ads competing for space.

    You can also filter categories overall.

    This is radically different than the competitive ad filter, which has
    a lousy name, as most people do not use it to block competitors, but
    block lousy ads. Blocking competitors was what it was intended for.

      Yeah now that's a bad ad.

      And the good thing about that, is you can block the url without blocking the domain,
      or you can block the domain and block everything.

    I used to block ads that seemed irrelevant to my website, but it turned out they were irrelevant because there wasn't that many advertisers bidding for traffic for my keywords. Since then I have never blocked any ads
