Display Excluder

 Google's Display targeting isn't known for it's qualitative placements. Quite often you will find irrelevant websites or websites with foreign domain extensions in your Display placement report. This script will give you more control of your placement quality by hourly excluding placements which do not meet your criteria. It does this in two ways:

1. Excluding all placements which contain words you have selected. If, for example, you do not want your ads to show on viral websites, you can add 'viral' to the array in the exWords variable.
2. Including placements containing relevant domain extensions. If you want your ads to show only on .nl domains you add this to the placementSelector as shown.

Note: this script might be inefficient for larger campaigns.
