Shhhh! A Secret Google Search URL That Removes Adsense Ads

It seems to block AdWords, not AdSense.

maybe it's just a page where the adwords hadn't been implemented yet (forgot to do)?

let google make their money...

very smart to try to block unobtrusive adds that help pay your browsing ... very smart.

Huh... You tell people how to not show ads (particularly from google), yet you have 2 areas of Adsense and then several other ads.

"Lets plaster our page with ads only to tell people how to turn them off after they view ours"

This is dumb. I think people should just leave the ads alone. All the Google ads on the searches are only text. So it doesn't inhibit the load time much.

Seriously, why would you want to block Google's ads? I think they have done an excellent job of keeping their ads out of my face when I'm searching. If I see a search result I want to click on and an ad for the same site above it or to the right, I will click on the ad to give Google the revenue they deserve.

Oh and speaking of ads...your site is covered with obnoxious in your face ads.

It also removes OneBox results and things like links to cached pages.

Or you could just use Fire for with Adblock. and it blocks all the known advertisiments other than google too.

I find your animated ad for slingbox much more annoying than adsense ads. If you want to try not being a hypocrit, remove all the ads from your pages, asshat.

Brilliant find!

This blog seems to be hosted on Blogger, which is OWNED by Google. Hehe.

In my opinion, Google's ads are not intrusive at all. Not worth it to me.

Also, to those disputing the importance of Adsense and Adwords, they actually work hand-in-hand. One cannot work without the other.

Not a bad suggestion - google without ads.. i won't mind it .. but i miss the 'images' button.

How about adding
127.0.0.1 ad.afy11.net
127.0.0.1 concordance.afy11.net
127.0.0.1 cache.blogads.com
127.0.0.1 st.blogads.com
127.0.0.1 img.blogads.com

That will help clean up this blog site

dude you just copied this from the digg article that was posted a few hours before your post.

give some credit and show some respect.

Not a bad idea at all - defintively ponting out a fun possibility, not only for Googles ads.

We can divide the world in people trying to make a decent living, and people trying to avoid them achieving it.
If you are envious and think: "hey, I could have come up with that search algorithm too, its not such a big deal after all", think again and please don't blame it on your parents that couldn't pay you a degree in Stanford.
Let innovators get the money they deserve and stop whining.

I used to use a hosts file that contained dozens of ad IP addresses (doubleclick et al). I just dont bother now. I might go back, if some ads really screw with my browser/mind. If people make some money from their sites, fair game. Just dont click them. Google ads are the the least obtrusive.

Why bother? There not intrusive, I rarely even notice one of them. But when I am looking on the web to buy something I have looked them.

The most ironic thing is that YOUR fucking blog is hosted at Blogger(owned by google).

Oh, wait, you´re using adsense here too. And you seems to know pretty much how to use it, since you have different channels and that stuff.

Gmail ads still appear. How do I block those?

The ads don't bother me (I use Firefox and haven't even bothered to get an extension to remove them.) I would like, however, to be able to have default -site options, so that - for example - experts-exchange.com results never show up in search results.

"Great, a company offers a free service with _very_ unobtrusive ads, and you're trying to cheat them."

I blocked ads the first time I browsed the net, and I always will block ads. I don't care what services you offer, what site you claim is great, an internet without any advertisements is the *only* internet I will ever use.

I block ads at work, because people have been called on the carpet to explain why the server logs show they downloaded from a 'porn' site.

However, at home, I do not block ads in general because sites deserve to make a bit of money. I only block totally annoying flashing, bouncing, and irritating ads.

I am a webmaster myself and there's no way I could continue to operate if I didn't get the meager ad revenue which allows me to keep paying for my hosting.

An excellent addition to my growing list of authoritative domains on my own internal DNS server -- rather than editing the hosts files on all my computers, I simply add those zones to my internal DNS server and it's instantly effective for my entire network. Also only one place to ever add entries to and easy to manage. Only a matter of time before someone offers a DNS virtual machine with constantly-updating zones that point to 127.0.0.1. Would be brilliant!

I prefer to use NoScript to avoid the tracking code. It works :)

Nice tech tip ,dont worry too much about these fuckin spammers and trolls posting hate comments like even you have ads blah blah.

Keep giving more tips & tricks even if people like it or not.

Seems when I search on the term: computer the ads are still there...

thanks for the news :)

** - How would one go about replacing Firefox's search box with their own adsense acc. When searching with Firefox, one would [ over time ] profit from one's own Adsense acc.
Don't want to hear, any thing else about it. Just some code please...:)
