MFA's my 2 cents.

Dear All,

I have read a lot on this forum about eliminating MFA's. I always hear the counter argument that google always displays highest paying ads. so if we use comp. filter then we would get even low paying ones.

Please dont flame me because what I am going to say is just my experience.

I had a site for the last 1 year or so and was willing to experiement a lot of things...so what I did is the following...

Test: I installed an adsense tracker tool and found which are the ads being clicked. I kept monitoring all the ads and manually visited each one of them and if it is a MFA then I would block it.

Result: All my 1 cent clicks were gone and it went to a minimum of 3 cents per click.

At this point I thought why not continue the same but kept in mind that at any point if PSA's would come I would revert back.

Test: I kept visiting clicked sites and if I feel the design or the product offered is crappy, not true MFA's, but if I felt that all the publisher is earning is from adsense and nothing else then I would block him.

Result: new ads kept coming and my minimum is now at 6 cents.

Conclusion: google maybe doesnt display highest paying ads first.
(I Dont claim it but believe that there is much more to it).


Thanks in advance,
Prasad..

 

Thanks for your exp , I'm deciding to use comp filter now.

 

You will never get rid of an MFA site.

Because once you block one, another will take it's place.

But if it worked for you I say keep on going. Can you post a pic of your reports, I wanna see how much increase you have a day?

 

yes i see your point but it worked for me. Ironically, the MFA's used to get a lot of clicks (but all 1 cent). especially those stupid 8xxxxsites 8-xxxx-sites 10-xxxx-sites etc...it was irritating. All you can see in their pages were ads.

So I blocked all of them.

with regards to my earnings!

my CTR surprisingly has increased from 0.x to 1.x % and now slowly moving to 2.x %. this was surprising to me because as I said these MFA's were being clicked a lot. But I think the ads now are more relevant.
(i should also admit to have optimised the placement a bit)

earning have gone from 2.x$/day (sometimes 1.x$/day) to approx. 4.x$ per day.

I should also admit that mine is a relatively low paying niche so there are still some ads (very reputated websites) paying 5 cents or so.

cheers

Ok imma go ahead and block some sites that look alittle MFA'ish. I'll let you know my results.

 

Here's my list of sites, if anyone is bored and wanna browse through a site and tell me they have reason to believe it's not MFA. Lemme know

MFA Site 1
MFA Site 2
MFA Site 3
MFA Site 4
MFA Site 5
MFA Site 6
MFA Site 7
MFA Site 8

3 & 4 redirect you to a mobile ringtone site, so i'm guessing the site is using the domain for CPA.

 

pessi99, in which niche did you experiment?

 

my site is actually a site for a particular south indian community (called telugu).

has everything from photo gallery, movie news, recipes etc....

(see my sig)

 

How do i filter my ads,
I don"t now anything about that ,
I would like to filter low paying ads.
Which tool how,

Please help me,.

 

login into your adsense account>adsense setup > competitive filter

 

Response to:
"You will never get rid of an MFA site."

There is a solution. MFA site owners can get their adsense account disabled. No more adsense ads= no more "made for adsense" sites.

 

You do know that you are NOT allowed to click your own ads ?

 

No more endless profits for Google and publishers, either.

Once you realise a lot of the people who're making tens of thousands per day off AdSense are not doing it by manually creating content and writing sites like the rest of us, you realise that it's really an anything goes and money orientated game. Fair enough though, I don't mind at all.

The last thing you want is some guy reporting you for having an MFA, and wouldn't the entire definition of an MFA be subjective? All those free services and download programs are essentially MFAs as well, surely someone didn't come about and start making a massive file sharing network just out of the goodness of their heart?

 

I don't think he ment he clicked the ads to visit the sites, he used a tracking system to figure out what was being clicked and he visited those sites.

I think.

 

Think logically: why would Google have any incentive NOT to display the most profitable ad first? Sure, they may not display the highest paying ad first, but what good is the highest paying ad if it has a terrible CTR? Logically, you'd think that they'd display whichever has the highest CTR x CPC, as opposed to using a strictly CPC system.

 

It's kind of hard to do that when you have roughly 1000 MFA blogs..

 

Exactly! If you're micromanaging cent clicks, you're wasting time and need to keep generating more blogs

 

He didn't click his own ads, he has an adlogger. Duh!

 

I mearly stated a question for his reference. Please stop posting stuff like "he has an adlogger. Duh!".. He could still click his own ads.

 

Well it was a stupid question. Did you even read his post?
