Adsense Publisher? Then Read This Post
If you are an adsense publisher then you definitely need to read the extract below as it affects your adsense earnings. I extracted the material from a forum for your reading convenience.
AdSense Revenue Increases 200% by filtering MFA sites.
This might not be something new to you, but it’s definately a good news to those AdSense beginners trying to maximize the earnings.
Two weeks ago, I discovered a great site showing the MFA sites’ url. I added the links to my Competitive Ad Filter since there was no url before. I check my AdSense revenue daily and found out that my earnings were increasing. Since the number of clicks were not increasing, then, I realize that by filtering MFA sites I can earn even more per click. I’m always amazed by how top MFA sites like best4sites[dot]net, all-free-info[dot]com, click-here-4-best[dot]info showing at top of my ads.
I started to check each and every AdSense links on my sites and filtered all the MFA sites. Of course, you can’t click on your own AdSense links. However, you are allowed to right click on your own AdSense ad title to find out the destination url of the ads. And add them to the Competitive Ad Filter. I would also suggest you all to add tinyurl[dot]com and denmark[dot]com to your filter list since many MFA sites love to use these services to hide their urls.
To AdSense team: please increase the limit of URL of the Competitive Ad Filter. The current 200 urls limit is not enough since the MFA sites are increasing at a very fast pace (due to your kindness for allowing these no-content-but-only-adsense sites showing AdSense).

On the same note there is a concerted effort to identify all these MFA sites and they keep their list updated frequently. The list is available for free when you join as a member. The website is AdsBlacklist.com. You can add the MFA sites from the list to the Competitive Ad Filter in your adsense account to prevent ads from these sites appearing in your websites.
