There's no point blocking low paying adsense ads

After a year, I just realised how utterly useless it is to block low paying ads for adsense on websites.

1.) the advertisers will NEVER stop sending ads with CPC's for pennies and even WORSE, ads that don't pay nothing at all. It's just never-ending. The bottom line here, is that you have no control whatsoever to begin with. None.

Which brings me to my second point,

2.)Unfortunately to make things worse, there's a limit in blocking these ads on your adsense account, which is 500. Eventually and inevitability, if you continue the trend of blocking ads, you will hit that limit. What then?

Does anyone here agree with me that this method is just pointless? Why are there some warriors here who sell WSOs based around this strategy? Care to share your thoughts? I'm open to all advice and opinions on this. Discuss away by all means

    If you are in a niche where there are a lot of cheap advertisers, then it is pointless to do this.

    However, if you are in a niche where there are some competitive advertisers and few cheapskate advertisers, then the strategy makes sense.

    Look at your website and figure out why your site only attracts cheapskate advertisers, and you will know why you have been wasting your time with Adsense.

      My keyword research is based on low competition, high paying keywords. And I include LSI keywords with similar CPCs to complement each main keyword that I dug up. You tell me what I'm doing wrong cause I can't figure it out. Maybe it's because the original google keyword tool is not as accurate as some of us think it would be. I haven't used their new "planner" yet, but I bet it would be no different. Maybe even a worse.

      How do I search for keywords that has only very few cheap advertisers? Is there a strategy to this? What's the method?

        You can't block low paying ads. If you can, please tell me how.

        Makes no sense, although many believe you can.

        The ads you see are winning the auction. So, if you block them,
        you think you are going to get higher paying ads? Hardly. You
        would actually get less.

        I would like someone to explain how to block low paying ads.

        Change the keywords on your website to be what may be
        higher paying.

        If google is putting low paying ads on your site, then your
        keywords and/or your site suck. Mostly your site.

        If you have what some see as a low paying niche, you can
        actually garner a premium price for targeted adwords users
        who see that your site rocks.

        Again, explain how to block low paying ads and only show high paying.

        You can't. You are actually blocking the ads that are PAYING MORE!

        Eventually, you will get nothing but blank space, as there will be no
        ads to show.

        The ads you see are not the same as what others see.
