I also would like to state that just recently I confronted adwords wanting to know why my adwords account showed 128 clicks on one ad leading to a certain page and why adsense that tracks the hits (times) they show an ad on that page only showed 86 hits for the same day. I asked if I was being fraudlantly charged on the front end or not getting paid everything on the back end and the only explaination was they they each report clicks differently and they weren't sure ohw the other one worked. When isn't a click a click and showing an ad showing an ad if it's all on the same page?
Excellent points...

I might refine your blocking a bit further, by reviewing that "AdSenseSpam" sites relationship to your sold products. If they are making you money, then why block them? If not, then, by all means, a good move. I think we should all do that. The end result is that our ad costs will go down without hurting our sales.

I think the spam sites get far more than the merchants get from their ad dollars.

Good post.
