Google adsense SPAM (MFA) sites, which are in your list?

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 start
Code:
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.org
The 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 like
Code:
icooking.info, iculinaryschool.info, igourmetfood.info
and so on. Their names vary and depend on the subject of your site.

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.

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 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.

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.
