Block all ads except all Google ads?

Hi folks,

I always set on the URL Filter of the Web-Proxy the URL Category "Suspicious" to be filtered.

Now a customer complained that no google ads and sponsored links are displayed when he searches with google. That's because in this category web ads are filtered.

So I'm about to allow these ads, but i still want all other ads to be filtered.

How do I do this? I think I have to put something in "Always allow these URL's/Sites". But wthat to put there? ( I'm not down with this regex expressions, is there any lecture about it?)

Thanks, Albeck.

I know this is an old thread but, it was helpful to me in getting Google Ads enabled on my system. To get them to work I created a Filtering Option / Exception as follows...

Skipping:
URL Filter

Matching these URLs:
^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?googleadservices\.com/pagead/aclk\?
^http://clickserve\.dartsearch\.net/link/click\?
^http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk

Hope this helps someone!
