Which ads should I block?

    I recently found out that I can block 200 different ads from appearing on my pages, does anyone know which are the best to block on an arcade site?

    My site is: http://www.gamecodecity.com

    Today my earnings were ridiculous, for the huge amout of clicks I got.

    Is there a general list of ones I should block? Anyone have any recommendations?

    Also does google care if you block them?

    why would you block ads??? Adwords advertisers big on keywords and in return the ones that bid the highest are displayed on your site! If you block ads that are being showed you will get paied even less! Maybe you need more keywords on your pages?

    If your earnings are below average that means the ads being served are the reason. Sometimes it's best to block those ads. Personally I block ringtones ads (there are thousands of them though). I also go to the site of the ad displayed and I look for Adsense ads. If they have Adsense ads I block them because those are only worth $0.1 - $0.5c per click.

    I agree with Dave, block irrelevant ads. On occasion you might find an ad for the exact same thing as your site, I'd block those as well (competition!) You'll just have to keep an eye out for these ads, there isn't a pre-made list of ads you should block.

    I recommend using Digital Point's Adsense Sandbox feature in the Webmaster Tools section so you don't artificially inflate your impressions on your site.
