Block Unwanted AdSense Ads Based on Categories

August 5th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Category filtering feature has been extended to public beta in many English speaking countries including Australia, Canada, USA, Ireland, UK, and India. If you haven’t heard of this feature, let me give you a quick note. It gives you the ability to block ads that fall under some specific categories. You can see a list of categories & can block ads up to 5 categories. The categories are usual, as you see in some online directories like Religion, Get Reach Quick, Dating etc.

Besides it will help you to monitor your ads better. You can see a “Recent Ad Impressions” column that shows the percent of ads served from each category. On the previous column you will find percentage of average earnings from each category. All the data is calculated based on last 30 days. So you get quite accurate result. And if you want to have a better understanding of which ads fall under which category, you can check the Show category details link in that page.

As you can see you have to go to AdSense Setup> Ad Review Center to check if this feature is available in your location. You can have an overview from the image below :)
