Hey guys, I'm new here and didn't see this in any of the recent forums.

I've noticed a lot of new ads popping up on one of my sites that have an extremely low pay rate. There's also a few that really don't pertain to the content or the audience of my site. I'm getting solid traffic, but with these ads it's killing my CTR. I was thinking about blocking the advertisers through the content filter but wanted to see if you guys have had the same problem.

Yep, but google only lets you block 200, if your site gets busy you get targetted by totally non relevant ads as they just want exposure and know nobody is going to click on them, but their name gets around.

Thanks Thailand. I noticed that when my site was really slow ads were pretty relevant but since traffic has spiked in the past couple of weeks I'm getting stuff that is just horrible. And I know it's part of a major marketing campaign because I've seen the ads on other websites as well.
If someone is on my site watching a skateboarder rack his nuts, they probably won't be interested in earning an online degree in marketing. Total waste of real estate.

^But they will know the name of a company that does online degrees, they saw it on your site, so the online degree company gets a free ad on your site and you get no clicks

Exactly! I'm all for people getting an education, but ads like that are like a homeless guy sitting at a table at an outdoor cafe. They need to move their butt and make way for someone that might help pay the bills.
