Google has confirmed that if requested they will manually block specific sites in their Google Partner Search Network. Does anyone know of a list of specific URLs of other sites like MySpace.com and/or lists of parked domain sites showing Google search (not content) ads?

One major concern I have about MySpace is that they show Google search ads for all types of searches of their SITE including those for people, music, music videos, blogs, videos and events. If your ads appear in the top positions for those searches they will generate a large number of what I call "automatic clicks". (Clicks by searchers who click on the first thing on the page.)

While ads displayed for searches of the entire web by MySpace users might convert fine, I know I do not want search ads being displayed on unrelated searches for information on the MySpace site itself.

Me neither. I was under the impression that MySpace was coming on as a content partner. Apparently not. That's definitely a problem.

MySpace is definitely on both the search and content networks. Interesting that Google created a help page specific to MySpace but never mentioned it on any of their blogs:
