You don&#39;t want someone on your site clicking on a ad that leads them to a competitor&#39;s, unless you&#39;re very positively sure you&#39;re better than them :)<\/p>\n<p>Filtering what seems to be low paying advertisers and cheap keywords is probably a bad idea. Google is supposed to serve the best ad, so if it shows something more or less irrelevant about some free web-based RSS reader, well, it may just be that or a Public Service Ad. Blame your content, not Google :)<\/p>\n<p>And it&#39;s probably a good idea to filter yourself out. While surfing on <a href=\"http:\/\/whois.sc\/\">whois.sc<\/a> I noticed that they were serving ads about&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/whois.sc\/\">whois.sc<\/a>. Not only they&#39;re potentially being charged for someone already knowing their site and clicking on it, but they&#39;re also preventing them from displaying another potentially better performing ad. To be honest, I think not displaying your own ads should even be an Adsense built-in feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adsense filtering tips<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[112,42,76],"class_list":["post-482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-adsense","tag-google","tag-tips"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
