    I am being smart priced very badly. I am trying to remove the ads with the competive ad filter, but it's not working!

    For example, I will try and block an ad from att.com by typing in att.com in the filter and saving the changes. Two hours later, the ad is still there! The same thing is happening with other ads, too.

    This is really cutting into my revenue.

    Yeah.. it make take up to 24 hours i think. I've also read that blocking "att.com" AND "www.att.com" may help..

    It can take up to 48 hours. Just have to be patient.

    Be patient it might take some time. I currently use the competitive add filter to filter crap sites that I don’t want advertising on my site “Yoga, scientology and the likes” and it takes a few hours sometimes.

    I've had problems with the ad filter as well. I find that having snappy, hip domain names can result in really mismatched google ads.
