Tired of same google ads?
Each time I load a website sitting in India, I see same ads every time. The biggest ad spenders seem to be Insurance companies, job sites and matrimonial sites. They have become an eyesore.
Since the clicks from Indian traffic are not much, I assume the readers from India see the same ads and do not click anymore. You can find a list of ads from Indian advertisers below, that I have blocked. I have since then got more clicks from the Indian traffic which usually comes in at regular Indian working hours.
How to block these ads?
You need to log into your google adsense account and navigate to Adsense Set up-Competitive Ad Filter .
Then you need to copy the below list and paste it in the box and save changes. You need not copy all the links given below, use discretion, check if these ads are relevant for your website.
Good to see google targeting system and enthusiastic advertisers. But we need to choose what we want. For example, I feel that the travel websites are good for my websites, so i have retained them.
I will expand the list if it affects me.
