HELP: Why can't I filter out this MFA?

    Hi all,

    All my ads are well paying and I filter the MFAs. So the CTR becomes even better.

    But recently I noticed an MFA ad which I can NOT filter. Now that I filtered all other MFAs, this one MFA is everywhere on my site. It is so annoying. I went to the ad filtering again, and tried to include it, but it seems that I ALREADY included it, so it didn't let me include again. I deleted it, included it again, but now, for like 3 days, it is still not filtered out. :mad:

    I am assuming that they are showing me a different URL than what they really are. If that is the case, I soooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuccchhhhh wanna click on that ad and put in in the ad filter. But I can't click on my ads :( :mad:

    (PS: I know sometimes the url that shows doesnt match the real url. I know this because a famous site had an ad on my site once, and the url was written wrongly. For this particular MFA site though, I assume they put the wrong url on purpose, so that noone can filter them out.) :mad:

    Right-click and copy/paste the ad into notepad...take a look at the link and you'll possibly see a second and different URL. Filter that, too. Note: Instructions are for Fx users...in IE, it's right-click and copy short-cut or something like that.

    It may take up to a week for the site to be fully filtered, have some patience.

    you can right click the ad in Firefox and select This Frame -> View Frame Source and then you can see the real url in this part of javascript code:

    Thanks guys,

    See I did what you told me to do and see the interesting thing:

    - The sites url appears like Example.Example-Info.Com
    So, what would you think, you would think the first letter of Info is "I" right?

    -Yes! But the actual address was lnfo (=Lnfo) "L" not qritten in capitals. But the Lnfo site does not exist. Info site does. I will now filter both.

    These assholes use lots of different techniques in order not to get filtered out.

    i ahve also noticed this on ocassions. Even when you filter out a site using the url of the domain, it reappears. I think its a slight problem with the filtering which sorts itself out.
