I would like to block some ads from showing on my application, but I am unable to find the advertiser URLs to input these into my AdMob account.

Where can I see the advertiser URL for games such as "Clash of Clans" and "Game of War" so I can block these from displaying on my app? Thanks

  • Why don't you run your app plugged into your computer through a software proxy, then monitor the network traffic from that software. You can find out the network URLS from there perhaps? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/437061/how-do-you-monitor-network-traffic-on-the-iphone – Zhang Jul 02 '14 at 09:56
  • the most professional way is do anything in admob center but u can do this also using a test device and u can click and open the ad urls with no ban on the test device. good luck – Umit Kaya Jul 04 '14 at 03:32

I do not believe there to be any easy way to find the URL for specific ads. You may be able to sniff them out if you look very closely at your data traffic.

However, I would advice trying the Ad review center on AdMob:

  • "Monetize" -> "All apps" -> "Ad Review center"

Once enabled and in "Run ads immediately" mode, you will be able to monitor what targeted ads are shown through your app, and can block the ones you don't like from being shown again. You can either block individual ads or entire AdWords accounts from appearing in your app.

You could also use "Hold placement targeted ads for 24 hours so they can be reviewed", but this only lets you review placement-targeted ads, while the previously mentioned mode works for contextual, interest-based, and placement.

Please note that these ads are blocked for all your apps, not just one. This information can be verified at Google Support.

If you want to block ads from advertiser URL then you should know the app/game name.
Then search that app/game on play store using any browser, if you got your app/game which ads you want to block then copy its URL.
Remove https:// from the start of that URL. The resulting URL is your advertiser URL

For example in your case you want to block Clash of Clans
Its URL is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supercell.clashofclans&hl=en
and your advertiser URL is play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supercell.clashofclans&hl=en which you can use to block ads in advertiser URL of ADMOB ACCOUNT.
