Ad Blocking Filter List - BOTH www and non-www?

    A few days ago, I blocked w-ww.xx123.com (made-up example).
    Today, I see xx123.com.

    So, apparently it is necessary to block BOTH the www AND the non-www versions? Is this true?

    The MFAs are really becoming a problem. Ban one, and another pops up. This is getting old, really fast. It's time for me to spend a lot more time on diversification.

    What do you mean, "I don't think so".
    I blocked one - later, the other appears.
    I KNOW so, at least in this one case.

    w-ww.xx123.com = Subdomain of xx123.com. When you blocked it, you blocked that specfic subdomain. (Notice the DASH between the w? It's made to trick people. You will find people who register wwwArcade.com as well, the URL is really www.wwwArcade.com... it's an old practice).

    xx123.com = Main URL. Block this and you will block this site all together + all subdomains.

    Goodluck.

    i think it's better, if you block *xx123.com/*

    That makes sense, even i saw ads for filtered sites appearing even the day after i had filtered those, but the next day they already were not on my site any longer.

    no need to block 2.

    just block the site without putting www. this is clearly written under Competitive filter
