I only looked at 8sites.com, it has just two ad units on each page and quite a few search results which means content. You sure this is spam?
This discussion I started in another forum but so far no one ansewred. Maybe this is the right place.
First of all I would like to explain what I mean with "Google adsense SPAM sites". These are sites (also known as MFA/Made-For-Adsense sites) which are made just to show adsense ads and (almost) no content. They always give the lowest bids and of course you get nickels for clicking on them.
Well, I startThe other group of sites that I block are parked domains that show adsense ads like sedoparking.com. Some of these sites usually are created just to be parked likeCode:10-bestsites.com 10-stocktrading.com 10-top-sites.com 100hoki.com 12-bestsites.com 1homeshop.info 1s.md 1st-4-shops.com 1step1.info 1stpromotion.com 25-topsites.com 5-topsites.com 7-topsites.com 8-topsites.com 8-topwebsites.com 8sites.com 9topsites.com best-choice-info.com best-price.com best4sites.net best5online.com best7sites.com tips2info.com top-10sites.com top-3-sites.com top-articles-house.com top-review-place.com top10websites.net top4sites.net topbestsites.org topdisplays.com tophealthsites.net toptensites.organd so on. Their names vary and depend on the subject of your site.Code:icooking.info, iculinaryschool.info, igourmetfood.info
My general rule for blocking sites in Competitive Ad Filter is: If a site in adsense has few content and 3 adsense units I just block it.
A good tool to see the actual URL of those sites is Adsense preview tool.
After applying the strategy of blocking adsense spam sites, I rarely get clicks worth less than 10 cents.

This is just the main page (index) of the site. The inner pages differ. Did you see what are the result pages of any search? These are results from alltheweb.com. I would ask "WTF is that search engine, that returns pages from another search engine?" Has anyone heard of 8sites.com SE? Why would a SE need to advertise its results?
Don't think I am browsing the web in search of fake (SPAM) adsense sites. The list I provided contains sites taht appeared in MY adsense units.
Sometimes you have to block SPAM sites relying on your intuition and experience.
I consider sites that have 80-90% space for ads as spams, but your point is correct too, these sites don't provide any value to visitors. To get better results from adsense, your approach of blocking ads from these sites makes good sense. I have put your list in my block list too.
If I found any more sites like that, I will post these here.
Thanks

that's right.. such sites are made with sole purpose of earning money with adsense. I have already blocked few such sites. They pay very less per clicks.
this is great tips .... but how do i check how much are a particular site pay to appear in my site ?
with this manual checking for future site, then i can determine whether to filter them or not ...
pls advise
isn't there a place thats lists all these sites that are made especially for adsense arbitrage.
So you just copy their list into your adsense account..
MFA sites... i cant remember the name of it..grrr
I will search around and see if I can find it
yes, there is a site which gives list of such MFA sites using your site category :brbra href="www.adsblacklist.com]www.adsblacklist.com/abr
That blacklist sites is aging now.... And I'll sort my adsense filters one by one. Although it wasting time, but it's very effective way since that list are for global publisher, not specific.
So do the sites in my list. I see almost every week adsense SPAM sites. I even reached the limit of 200 and now Iwonder what to delete from old ones.Originally Posted by angel2017
