    Sometimes I get clicks on my blog that only pay a penny, does anyone know how to block this crap?

    on google adsense ... no.. on bidvertiser you can change the bidding to maual and then just acceot only the bigger bidders, remember it has to be relevent.

    You can try and use a bigger keyword desity of better paid ads, such as loans.

    on adsense, you have to babysit your ads and block the search engines, web directories and parked pages on a daily basis to stop the penny clicks (since the google adwords division refuses to do anything about this *huge* problem). If that doesnt work, then the site is smartpriced and the content will have to be adjusted.

    What i have done:

    Put the 125x125 ad unit that displays one only ad.

    This must be the GOOD (=paying high). Refresh the page and see what google gives for a single ad.

    Those are the ads to KEEP. The rest try to excude them.

    I think Google serves the higher paying ads first. So the above method could work.

    I think ..

    Also an other way is to use the google preview and lock out websites that look low paying, are MFA or close.

    Good luck

    Use ad filters to do away with the MFA ads which pay very low like 0.1 cent :(

    their use to be a list goinf around the internet which listed loads of MFA sites you should restrict from showing up on your site...

    way i usually do is babysit (like mentioned before).. i can have really good days and really lousy days with adsense.. but the most curious bit is that the number of impressions and clicks are pretty much the same both ways.. so that basically means crappy ads showing up on my sites at times.. and time to block them!!

    dairyman: what do u mean by use adfilters to block MFA? anything else you can do besides babysitting your incomes?

    This is a good point made here but this might not be the case all the time . The good way is to keep experimenting and then stick with the ones that pay well .

    There might be, although that will not help. These penny click sites are being added to Adwords on a daily basis, nonstop, and the only way to stop them is by looking at what appears and visiting their site manually to see what it looks like.

    A good rule of thumb is to block sites like Buy.com, ebay.com, real.com, veoh.com and several other big sites that are notorious for paying out nothing because their ad score is so high, and they dynamically appear for 100's of keywords...

    well, you get paid based on your site content/niche. if your site is something that is targeted for ads that pays pennies, then even if there was a way to disable it (which is not possible btw), you would probably getting PSA ads and zero per click.
