Adwords - how to block console and mobile traffic?

[prince]

1. I've unchecked the [iPhones and other mobile devices with full Internet browsers] in the campaign setup page and I'm still getting shit-ton of clicks from mobile browsers & game consoles (based on prosper202)

How can I block this junk traffic?


2. In the site exclusion area, I've excluded domain.com, but I'm still getting traffic from search.domain.com , 1.blabla.domain.com. Do I need to exclude the sub domains as well if I already blocked the main domain? This is really pissing me off. Anyone else had this problem before?

I don't know a lot about that interface, but does it let you use wildcards, like

*.domain.com

or block by user-agent?

Not too sure, let me try the wildcard thing.

No, wildcard format is not accepted.

according to them, if I exclude domain.com, I should not be getting clicks from the subdomains.

urgh.. i'll wait and see how it goes.
