How can I find what url to block for competitive ad filter?

    I want to block some ads that are running on my site. It's a page about substance abuse, and ads are showing for beer pong tables and partying, not at all appropriate for the content.

    It looks like I can use the competitive ad filter to block these, but how do I get the url to block without clicking on the ad?

    Hey there,

    I found the simplest ways is as followed. Highlight the header of the ad.
    So for instance if it looks like this.

    Beer Bong Station <- Highlight Header and view properties
    Get your Beer Bong
    on today.

    Once you our in properties you will want to look at the bottom if IE explorer in the url address and look through that for the url address of the person advertising. http://something.com/beerbong . Let me know if you have any other questions.
