Ad Filtering Greatly Improved

Google have made some much needed changes to the ad filtering system within adsense. For a long time the system has allowed you to filter out ads that you do not want appearing on your site, however, the number you could designate was strictly limited. Also, the filtering process used to take hours upon hours to work allowing inappropriate, or competitors ads to take up space on your site.

Now however, the process only takes thirty minutes and you can designate as many as 500 URLs to ban from your site. This update has been coming for a while and is hugely necessary since, particularly because of the way the content network works, site owners often find themselves displaying ads from competitors. Obviously, you don’t want to do that for a moment longer than is necessary.
