Block eBay ads on adsense to increase earnings ?

Discussion in 'Reporting & Stats' started by ajsa52, Jan 18, 2007.

    I've installed a javascript program on my site to track adsense clicked ads.
    After several thousand clicks tracked, I decided to block ads (using competitive filter) from MFA sites like XXX-topsites.com, and my earnings rise about 25%.

    After that, the most clicked site is eBay.com, but I'm not sure if I should block it too or not.
    Has anybody noticed increasing or decreasing earnings after blocking eBay ads ?
    Do you think I should block eBay ads too ?

    I tried that ads blacklist. Most of the sites it gave were either non existent and one of them was a google site. I'm not so sure it actually works.

    I notice that i have google site ads in my site too. I think it does not give much revenue. I will put it inside my ads block list soon.

    eBay pay the minimum click amount for just about every keyword going. So I think it makes good sense to block them.

    I have a self-made javascript program, that send info to google analytics, so I don't need a DataBase to save info.
    The idea and the javascript base program (I've changed a little) was taken from: http://asp-net-whidbey.blogspot.com/2006/03/tracking-adsense-clicks-with-google.html

    I was examining the javacript source of adlogger 1.23, but I don't like how it works.

    For the past couple of days I've noticed that even though I have blocked eBay.com and all its derivatives, I'm still getting Adsense clicks through to them. At 3c per click this is one ad that should be blocked.

    Anyone else seeing this problem?

    came in search of this today because I noticed this too

    I've had ebay blocked for some time and it came back. the new url was mediaplex.com so I blocked that. now it came back again and the url shows ebay.com.
    I do have "advertise on this site" checked, does this affect the block?
    another question is why do they win top place bid at .03?
