Hello All,

I have noticed Blogspot Image ads in my newly created 350x200 format. When i saw the target url i was simply a blog where advertisers is using some referal links.

What should i do?

Block it. After seeing a similar scheme, blogspot.com ended up in my filter list. In a way it is sad, but then again - why expose our visitors to such sites?

Thanks for the tips..

perticuler blog or should i block blogsopt.com completely?

For this domain, I block it all since all the subs are freely created by everybody.

The case is quite different with yahoo.com, I still can't decide weather to block it or let it show.
Any suggestion?

I agree with mainspot.

In general, I found blocking specific subdomains or folders not useful because spammers will find an easy way around that by simply creating a new subdomain or folder.

So, yes, I'd go for blogspot.com
