# Blocking unwanted ads

You can exclude any categories or domains<!-- , or brands--> from ad impressions and manage these exclusions in the site settings:

1. Go to **Website Ads** → **Sites**.
1. Select the site from the list.
1. Click **Settings** → **Exclusions**.


{% note info %}

Keep in mind that excluding categories or domains<!-- , or brands--> from ad impressions reduce the number of ads competing in auctions, which may impact your revenue. A broader ad pool leads to higher impression prices and more effective monetization. That's why we don't recommend excluding popular ad categories or major sites.

{% endnote %}


## Exclude categories {#theme}

You can exclude unwanted categories from ad impressions on the **Categories** tab. 

To add exclusions:

1. Click **Add exclusion**.
1. In the pop-up window, open the **Categories** tab and select the ad categories you want to exclude.
1. Click **Add**.
If you want to exclude a category that's missing from the list, contact [support](https://yandex.com/support/partner/en/support.md).


## Exclude domains and bundles {#bundle-id}

You can block impressions for unwanted ads by excluding a specific domain or bundle ID. 

Add the domains or bundles you want to exclude from ad impressions on your site:

1. Click **Add exclusion**.
1. In the pop-up window, open the **Domains** tab and use one of the following methods:
    - Use the **Enter domains or bundles separated by commas** field.
    - Drag and drop a file containing a domain list into the **Drag or select a file** field.
    - Click **Select file** and manually select your file in *TXT* format. All delimiters are supported. You can add up to 1000 domains or bundles at once.
