Competitive Ad Filter is not working

I have added few site in that filter.But after passing more than 1 month it is still displaying most of them.
What to do ?

 

does it make difference to add
xxxxxx.com
or www.xxxxxxx.com ?

 

if i remember right...

use > xxxxxxxxxx.com NOTHING ELSE to filter ALL possible ads from said domain.

no www.
no subdomains.
nothing.

also, you may want to remove the domain for a day or so, and go back and add it again

i've seen that work too.

cheers,
mike

 

Absolutely, always enter just the domain name. See the competitive filter help for the details.

 

I have inclueded all sites without www.
So what is wrong why its showing these sites?

 

The destination URL for the ads are probably not the ones shown. Look at the help page I mentioned, it has details on how to figure out what the real destination is. Also, you may need to target more sites than you are currently.

 

why not work?

 

It should work.
Make sure you have included the site which you are thinking should not display.

 

Wow that is really weird. It has to be a mistake in the setup of the domain name. I have not had this issue. Will be interesting to see how it turns out. good luck let us know.

 

I have had this problem with several Ebay affiliate sites. I ended up contacting Google and it took them several days to remove the sites. It seems some of these sites are tricking Google. Anyway Google was very nice and apologized for the problem.

 

Some places use another display then they show, also it takes a day or two for this to take effect. Don't go by the URL they display because it could be an affiliate link or another URL.
