I found this from Digerati Marketing and was wondering if it's accurate. Do you do this? I've never heard of it before... Thanks!

Beating Adsense Smart Pricing
“Smart Pricing” is Google’s way of trying to keep its advertisers happy by lowering the cost of junk traffic. Unfortunately, they do this at your expense. Having poor advertisers on your site, will lead to you users clicking the adverts, then leaving the horrible site they land on almost instantly. When people do this, Google will think you’re sending out junky traffic, when actually it’s the advertiser’s site that is at fault. This will lead to the money you get per click, going down.
Fortunately, Google offer a “competitive ad filter”, which allows you to block certain advertisers from showing ads on your site. Login to your Google Adsense account and go to “Adsense Setup” and you’ll see a “Competitive Ad Filter” tab. Click this and you’ll be given a box of URLs to block.
Copy & paste this list into your competitive ad filter and this should help you keep a strong amount per click.
 


I've looked at this before, and added a few sites. This is a nice list - cheers. I'll try it out.

I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to block eBay and Amazon though as most people won't immediately exit those sites (and both have a lot of affiliates to push bid prices up in popular niches).
