    It would be nice to have the ability to block .info sites in my competitive ad filter. With a pretty good probability (maybe 90%) they are all MFA.
    I don't think the filter takes wildcards or does it?

    Sorry man. You are probably with in the 10% or in a totally different niche. In my Niche, no respectable company uses .info. I was just looking through some of my ads and ALL the MFA sites I found today were .info and vice versa.
    For me, the benefit of automatically blocking 90% of all spam outweighs the loss of 10% regular customers.

    Well i use .infos too as they are just cheap. I doubt 90% of MFAs are .info to be honest.

    I've noticed the .info being high up in MFAs...and unfortunately, one of my sites is a .info (not my main one, though)

    I didn't say that.
    I said: 90% of the sites that have Adsense on MY site AND are .info are spammy MFA (click arbitrage to be precise). I never said 90% of all .info are crap.

    Are you even using Adwords to drive traffic to your .info domain?

    So again:
    The .INFO showing on MY SITE are 90% crap.
    Please stop the discussion, I wanted to know if I can block a certain TLD and thats how I should have asked without calling out .info. Sounds better?
