Hi, I would like to run adsense ads on my sites but there are some sites that I don't want them to displayed. Is it possible to control that?
Are u referring those "some sites" to sites you own or sites owned by others? If those are your own sites - just remove the adsense code. If those sites are owned by others, there are 2 options: Option A If they show your adsense code in their site thru iframe tags - you can use "Allowed sites" feature available in your Adsense control panel and allow only urls that belong to you. Option B If you dont wont visitors referred by "siteABC.com" to view the adsense ads when they visit your site - u could control this thru server side scripts like php (by capturing the referring url).
thanks, so Google doesn't give you the option to block your competitors from displaying their ads on your site?
Yes, you can. Just login to your adsense account and try the following link https://www.google.com/adsense/publisher-whitelist-view You can enter only the sites you want adsense ads to be displayed.
To block competitor ads appearing in your website - you can use "Competitive Ad filter" feature available in your Adsense control panel. I would personally say that if you are blocking one or two ads it is OK. But in case if your list of blocked urls is huge - your cpc would be drastically affected as the competition of bidders goes down.
Many thanks. That's helped a lot. I won't block many, just the one that offer the same product as I do
