Re: Adsense Host API 4.1 - Block URLs API

[Sérgio Gomes (AdSense API Team)]

Hi Darian,

I'm afraid this is not available in v4.1 at the moment, as we're not aware of any significant usage of this feature in v3. We may add it back in a later version if it's in demand, though, so please give us your feedback :)

Cheers,

Sérgio

In version 3 of the Adsense host api, there was a service to block sites:

https://developers.google.com/adsense/host/v3/developer/SiteFilterService#addSiteFilters

What is the equivalent in version 4.1?  Can this be done?  We are trying to manage the list of advertiser URLs in the Blocking Options (Web UI). 

Thanks.

Hi Filippo,

Thanks, that's a useful data point. I'll try to get this feature into our roadmap for future releases.

Cheers,

Hi Sérgio,
in our implementation in AlterVista with the api v3 we use the site filter service, but I don't know how many users actually use it.

Thank you, everyone, it seems this feature is getting much wider usage than we expected. We'll look into revising our roadmap. I'll let you know as soon as I know more.

Cheers,

Dear Sérgio,

I think that backward compatibility MUST be ensured, from the semantic point of view, for ALL the functionalities of v3 before its sunset.

Here is our situation, we host over 13 million sites that are built using our easy to use, drag-and-drop interface (several million with a custom domain).  Many of our customers opt in for the Adsense program. 

We cannot have any manual tasks in getting a site set up for Adsense.  If I can add the blocked URLs one for the Host (which is me) once, then there is no issue.  I didn't think this was the case.  Can you clarify?

My use case is the following: We would like to filter ads from certain sites automatically for all sites in the Adsense program for which we are the host.  Is this possible?

Thanks.

Hi all,

we've looked at this issue internally and here's the solution and reasoning:

You can set URL blocks for your host property through the AdSense Frontend, you actually don't need to make API calls for this. You only need to do it once for each new URL. 

Setting blocks on child publishers is not in their best interest. These affect all the ads for the child publisher regardless of being displayed on the host site or not. The blocks should be done on the host web property.

Hi Darian,

that's right, you only need to do this once in your own account to affect all your Host-publishers: go to Publisher Controls -> URL Blocking -> Select Host Property. These blocks are applied to all ad units which contain the host-property code in them (hence not affecting the publisher's non-rev shared own ad units) regardless of which domain they appear on.

I am not seeing that pages you describe.  The closest thing is at this URL:

https://www.google.com/adsense/v3/app?hl=en&subid=na-en-ha-bk&sourceid=aso&medium=ha#allowAndBlockAdsUrlFilters

Blocking Options -> Advertiser URLs

In there I can specify URLs to block.  Will these blocks extend to our publisher sites as well?

Hi Darian,

there is a dropdown menu at the top of that screen that allows you to specify the product. I will send you a screenshot privately.
