blocking google text ads?

[Guest news-text.blueyonder.co.uk]

Is it possible to block google text ads?

 

I've disallowed pagead2.googlesyndication.com on my router, in my browser

and furthermore in my hosts file, yet the ads are STILL getting through.

 

If anyone has any pointers as to how I could achieve this, I'd be most

grateful indeed.

 

Many thanks

Do you really find them that obtrusive?

Under Internet Options, I have google-analytics and googlesyndication in

restricted zone and in privacy to always block. I don't use a Host file but I

don't see any ads.

*.googlesyndication.com is easy to put in the restricted zone but I'm

wondering about Google Analytics. Its address is:

 

http://www.google.com/analytics

 

Wouldn't putting that in the restricted zone block all of Google?

Colin,

 

What I have done to block them is this:

 

In Symatec Firewall | Ad Blocking | Configure | Advanced

 

Add:

 

pagead2.googlesyndication.com

 

Block:

 

/

/pagead

/pagead/

/pagead/show_ads.js

 

In Global Settings:

 

Untick & Block:

 

Information about your browser

Information about blocked sites

Animated images

Scripts

Flash Animation

 

User Settings (block)

 

Use ad blocking settings

 

Now:

 

http://www.google-analytics.com

 

Block:

 

/

/urchin.js

 

In Global Settings:

 

Untick & Block:

 

Information about your browser

Information about blocked sites

Animated images

Scripts

Flash Animation

 

User Settings (block)

 

Use ad blocking settings

Re: blocking google text ads?

 

I used these: *.google-analytics.com; *.googlesyndication .com

Doesn't block google.com.

Most ads don't bother me and I even like/want to see them.

especially local sales:).
