And I agree with you. After deleting my "blocked" list, my CPC fell, same as yours. So now I just ignore the "optimization report" every month, because I'm NOT deleting the MFA's. Even if Google is supposedly going after them. Because MFA might stand for "Made for AdSense", but I reckon they've just switched over to other advertising networks. Thanks for the comment, Steve.

I too have definitely been punished for having a large list of blocked advertisers. The thing is, every one of them was a spammy, MFA or very low click value site. As an experiment I unblocked them all and - POW! - traffic went up by 25% the next day. A coincidence? I don't think so. The only problem was that my earnings plummeted. After a few days I was getting a pathetic 2c per click average. Why would anyone bother writing good quality content to be paid that? So as far as I see it, Google needs to pull their finger out and sort the crap out. If Google can't do it then let us do it. Very interesting.
