Quick adsense advice – remove duplicates from filter list
Adsense Users, be aware of the fact that when using your filter list and adding domains to it, you need to remove all leading slashes, else you might receive duplicates that take up space from your filter list.
The Google adsense filter list can only hold up to 200 values.
I just went through my list and found 12 duplicates.
An example:
http://downloadrings.com/
http://downloadrings.com
Same domain, but added twice to the list. Google might consider adding an auto-filter to take care of those dupes, but then again… they care crap at all about Adsense (as far as publishers like you and me are concerned).
Yeah right… earn money, but how much?
Last month I had some 350,000 ad impressions and earned merely 194$. Of course this is still a lot of money, but for so many impressions one could expect a bit higher payment, right?
My mate over at christinazone.com makes 10x what I do with less impressions and clicks. Seems like my audience here is quite click-adverse and smart :)
Are my ads targeted? Some are, but others are not…
If you wish to help me out with some filtering, just drop the offense ad URLS in a comment or plain contact form (link below; bottom left). It is highly appreciated. I am always trying to filter out those stupid .info domains with their non-sense ads, but since those are ads geo-targeted I miss half of them I assume. Oh and in case you want to earn some extra bucks with your website, click the Google Adsense image above. Google will explain to you what is necessary in order to get your started.
Hey man,
Shawn here from Brusheezy. Just read your post on Quick Adsense advice. Great advice, just be careful what you said about ” Oh and in case you want to earn some extra bucks with your website, click the Google Adsense image above.” I’m pretty sure its in googles TOS to not entice your visitors to click on your ads, or they’ll ban you. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Also, are you a full time programmer? What are your rates? Are you looking for work?
hi shawn,
good to hear from you.
thanks for your feedback on my post, I am sure my comment on Google Adsense does not break any TOS, since I do not say “click on the ads or else you do not get my files” or anything, it is just a recommendation of their service. As explained above interested people might want to click the banner to checkout the Google service for themselves.
As for my status, yes I do work as freelance programmer and designer, my rates are below industry standard as I enjoy my work and do not see it as “work-work”.
Specific rates can be exchanged by e-mail, just drop me a line mate!
Thanks,
jez
