Made for Adsense (MFA) and Low Cost Per Click (LCPC) ads and sites are the work of real shady people that delve into witchcraft, diamond smuggling and black-hat SEO. 
What MFA sites do is buy Google Adwords and offer those tiny 0.01c and 0.02c clicks we hate seeing. They then take this Search Engine traffic that you have worked so hard to get and convert those 1c clicks into 50c, $1 and upwards clicks!
So how do you get rid of these ads?
Create an account at Ads Black List. Ads Black List is an awesome service that will give you a list of all those nasty domains that use MFA and LCPC ads.
AdsBlackList.com is a unique project designed to enable you to dramatically reduce the amount of MFA (made for ads) and LCPC (low cost per click) sites which appear through the use of PPC systems such as Google Adsense™, Yahoo Publisher Network™ and Chitika eMiniMalls™
You supply it with your website and a list of keywords. Use keywords that you rank highly in the SERPS for. The service is free and it works 100% for me, although there are more benefits for members that wish to pay for the service.
Filtering your Adsense ads
Next you need to copy the list you have just generated at Ads Black List and implement it in your adsense account. Login to your Adsense account, click on Adsense Setup > Competitive Adsense Filter and paste that list.
And that’s it! Let me know if you notice an increase in earnings over the next few days and weeks.

Only crap thing about Google’s competitive ad filter is that it only limits you to 200 doamin names ot filter. With AddiCT all over the place there are not enough filter around for all the rehab & prescription drug ads :-/

lol! Ya I’m guessing being an “addict” doesn’t help with those pesky spammers…

Well, it seems to be a way to make more money with AdSense. But, one thing I don’t understand is that, how Adsblacklist know which AdSense ads are low cpc. Are they determine the low cpc ads by looking at the ads rankings in your keywords? The lower the ads ranking, the lower the CPC.

Hi Alan, Adsblacklist is a community driven list. So people submit those spammy sites and ABL go and check if they are Made For Adsense sites and add them to their DB.

It works, but… But you must check for MFAs which are shown in countries where your traffic comes from. Basically, you may block all MFAs which you can see, but people from another country will see other MFAs.
This is really weird, but it is truth. I was blocking bad MFAs and my earnings were getting worse. When I used Google AdSense preview tool I discovered how it really is.
Soon I will launch my own blog on this topic.
