More filtering improvements

As part of our continued efforts to give you more control over the ads that appear on your sites, we'd like to share two additional improvements to the Competitive Ad Filter:
Faster filtering
In the past, the Competitive Ad Filter sometimes took up to several hours to block URLs you'd entered. Knowing you've wanted a faster filtering system, we're excited to let you know that URLs added to your Competitive Ad Filter are now usually blocked within 30 minutes. We hope that this will help you quickly make changes to maintain a positive user experience on your sites.

Increased filter list size
At the same time, a growing number of you have let us know that you're running out of space in your Competitive Ad Filter. Now, you can add up to 500 sites to your filter list, more than double the previous limit. As you add new sites, please continue to keep the possible revenue impact of filtering in mind. You might also find it helpful to review our tips for using your Competitive Ad Filter.
We're continuing to work towards enhancing your ad controls, and we'd love to hear any suggestions you have. Feel free to leave us a comment below.

Any chances of allowing us to filter as many sites as we want to? Why place a limit at all?

ORZ said...

The increased filter is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,

We have many websites that show inappropriate links in AdSense link units. Links themselves contain inappropriate words (implying erotic/porn content). This is going on for 3+ months. Is there any way to filter such links?

Thanks

Suggestion - I'd love to see a way to filter out duplicate ads between Adsense units on the same page, either as a global option or possibly by advertiser. The duplicate ads are annoying to our visitors & looks especially unprofessional with some image/rich media ads in particular. Screenshot here (the blue JustAnswer ads, which are far better than some others!). Thanks!

Thank you for increasing the limit. I am using Addcenter and able to watch my advertisers. But I couldn't find out their CPC or CPM so that I can directly reject those advertisers there it self or I can submit to the filter urls.

Thank you for increasing the limit

It's all very nice that Google keeps on deploying new features, but how's about fixing long existing problems? Here's one that's been plaguing me (and others) for quite some time: "Duplicate account information. You have already submitted this account." Google it.

Suggestion – Site wise filtering

I have two websites publishing ads under the same adsense account. I wanna filter few ads for site 1 but do not want to use this filter for site 2. At this point I do not have any such option. The workaround is to open a new adsense account, but it increases effort in managing multiple accounts and this is also not recommended by Google.

We appreciate. Thank you

It is very nice to hear to improve the filtering. Thanks for the information

Nice of increasing the limit. Thanx 4 info

It would be nice to be able to have content filters on a per-placement basis in Google Ad Manager rather than having AdSense create a universal filter.

Why dont you add wordfilters too ?

Luis Quiroz R. said...

Thanks Google, safety first. New filters, more control, better handling of AdSense

I wish to be able to screen ads which are not suitable for my websites audience. I run a football club website which caters for teams age 6 years to 18, I don't wish to see adult dating ads, nor adult themed ads on my site at all!

We are a karaoke bar and karaoke store. It would be really nice if I could filter out *karaoke* so all domains with "karaoke" would be filtered. Hopefully within the next few updates. Thanks.

I would be excited about the "improvements" if the basic services worked properly. We can't get the competitive ad filter to actually block the URLs we've added, and no ads ever show up in the "ad review center", they just show up on our site. We have very inappropriate ads on our site that I've tried every way to block, to no avail. It's been so frustrating that we had to disable the Google search on our site until we can figure out how to block these gross and obnoxious ads.

How about a language filter. My English text website is showing Arabic Ads to English speaking visitors including myself ever since you turned on interest based advertising. I posted in the forums to no avail.
