Dang ol Physics ad

    So I run a chemistry tutoring forum. I don't think it will make me rich but it is nice for it to pay for itself.

    I use minimal ads on the page but what I do like are the link ads at the top.

    At first they were helpful to my users.

    They would be Chemistry Answers, AP Chemistry etc

    Now I know this is dependent on a lot of factors but.....

    now I have several Physics Experiment and Science Worksheet Ads


    But because they are link ads I don't know the URL to block them

    Any advice here?

    Hoover your mouse of the ad.. the url should appear on the lower left of your window. See if that works.

    After you click on the link ad, you could then block the list of advertisers there. I don't know if that will help though.
    You have plenty of "chemistry" keywords. Maybe Google just ran out of chemistry subjects.

    You can click on the Link Unit which takes you to a list of advertisers.
    That's where you're having the problem, right?

    The only way to find out where your link units lead to is by clicking them, which isn't allowed. =\

    Google have a tool for this, it is called something like the AdSense Preview Tool. Just search for it in the AdSense help section of the site. It lets you see the urls and other information associated with the ads being pushed to your site. And then you can take appropriate action (for example blacklisting those ads in the AdSense console.) :)

    Last time I tried, the Preview tool did not work for link ads.

    Yes you CAN click on the link unit. You just can't click on the list of advertisers on the resulting page.

    if ulook in the forum , it has link units, click on one of the links, and it take su to a page with other adverts with their urls in, u cn then find and block them from their.

    this doesnt count as a paying click.

    you can't filter out what the links come up with,that just goes by keywords.
    you can filter out the ads inside the link units by using the preview tool or view source.
