| Filtering Evony Game Ads | SupremeGaming | 6/6/09 8:07 AM | I am being bombarded by Evony game ads and cannot filter their many url's due to the fact that the ad is flash. No destination url can be viewed and the preview tool does not show these ads. Although the ad is appropriate to the site their ads overwh |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | Jioji | 6/6/09 9:57 AM | Hi, Supreme - Do you have (for example) three different ad units/codes/sizes on a page, or all the same code repeated three times? Maybe you could change things a little by shaking up the ad sizes/units. And, even though you say you don't like text |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | SupremeGaming | 6/6/09 4:36 PM | Different codes and sizes were tried once the duplicate ads from Evony began and no changes were seen. Drop one domain in the competitive ad filter and another appears just as quickly. Same old ads dominating the pages. Check the url above. It's a pa |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | Jioji | 6/6/09 5:00 PM | Supreme - Don't know if you already know this, but you can use the AdSense preview tool (in IE browswer). This tool lets you see the "real" URL behind the ads. There is hopefully some "root" URL that you can find and block out all the ads in one fe |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | SupremeGaming | 6/6/09 5:07 PM | Quoted from original post: No destination url can be viewed and the preview tool does not show these ads. |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | Jioji | 6/6/09 5:17 PM | Didn't re-read original (from hours ago). Maybe try this. I've seen the Evony ads in text form, but not on my site or I would help you out with a URL, obviously. Set one of your ad units where the ads keep showing up to text. Text ads do show up in |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | SupremeGaming | 6/6/09 5:36 PM | I tried a set of text ads for two days in one section, about 34 pages, and never got anything from Evony. Of course on the opposite side of the same page their flash ad appeared 80% of the time. I pretty much exhausted all the possibilities before I |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | Benjaminsen | 6/9/09 10:33 AM | I have the same problem with being unable to get Evony ads of my website. The ads are served via DoubleClick which is why you are unable to use the AdSense preview tool to sort out the target domain. So let's dig a but into the issue. 1: The domains |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | SupremeGaming | 6/9/09 12:45 PM | Here's a couple more Benjaminsen. It's obvious that this will be a long list which will probably continue to grow. Have spent too much time trying to track down their ads already so I will be reverting to removing an adsense block and replacing it wi |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | Benjaminsen | 6/10/09 1:59 AM | Haven't seen any ads from evony since I added the two new domains and http://evonygamezer.com to my list, so I think I got it. Still sad you have to go to such extremes to get rid of a single campaign. |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | Mr.Bill | 6/10/09 11:23 AM | Here is another one http://evonymyspace.com Not sure you guys got this many of the urls but I appreciate it |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | SupremeGaming | 6/10/09 12:07 PM | Same here Benjaminsen. Although I hadn't intended to remove the campaign completely it appears that's what has happened. Still, I will be removing an adsense block. One can only guess that new domains from Evony will be added in the future. In fact s |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | AsifLateef | 6/14/09 2:32 AM | There's a desperate need to block such flooding advertisers by the use of wild card characters. I hope Google will consider add this long awaited feature so that publishers could use it when critically needed. This is however, natural that no publish |

| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | peterkirn | 7/6/09 10:33 AM | Thanks so much for this, gang, this is a huge help. AdSense user community FTW. Now, Google on the other hand -- do you know if there's a proper channel to report this kind of advertiser behavior? To me, it really seems a clear abuse of the AdSense |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | Shawnhath | 7/8/09 4:34 PM | I currently play the game Evony, and it turns out that Super Continental LLC just got sued by Microsoft for Click Fraud. Eric Lams owns Super Continental and he owns UMGE LLC which is the developer for Evony. Evony abuses the ads and you can see in t |

| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | Benjaminsen | 7/10/09 2:17 PM | http://chooselucky.com added to the list as well. |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | Spanner | 7/10/09 4:32 PM | Peter, I bumped it up for Google to check out, it does seem to be a deliberate technique to circumvent the filters |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | Bruceongames | 7/12/09 2:36 AM | It looks like Evony is just one big scam. The game content is stolen. They are spamming the whole internet to market it. iEvony is a tool they are using to gather people's details. It is run by Chinese gold farmers. The whole thing stinks. I have bee |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | birdimus | 7/12/09 1:02 PM | We dropped google ads partially because of these crap Evony ads. If we show ads, we obviously want it to be relevant to our users. This is just spam BS. |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | smokeskank | 7/12/09 3:41 PM | I love you all for keeping this thread alive. I'd like to add http://playnowmylord.com as well. notice it's my and not me. They did both. I don't get why google allows them to do this when they're clearly trying to circumvent adsense's competitive ad filter |
| Re: Filtering Evony Game Ads | samxnguyen | 7/13/09 10:34 AM | New Evony URL: http://comeplaymylord.com This is ridiculous. |
