small search engines & wasted Adsense clicks...

    I'm having a huge problem where my site is displaying ads for tiny no-name search engines (like best-info-search.whatever), basically garbage spam sites that pay off one penny per click. I can't seem to get rid of them fast enough, and having to babysit my site and manually add them to my block list is getting annoying....

    Is there anything else I can do to stop this??? The bigger problem is that the ads are using wild card Adwords titles, so it's tricking my visitors into clicking those ads, thinking that they're something they're not....

    Continue to filter them and report the worst offenders. I keep a list of all sites I've blocked and go back through every so often (after I've taken them out of the filter) often the sites no longer exist so I can swap them out. It requires a fair chunk of time to keep up with it, though. Google needs to up the block list number from the pathetic 200 to something more inline with today's crisis.
