What you should see is an increase in revenue
If you are lucky and it blocks a lot of bad or unwanted hits.
The less hits that people see your your adds on, should increase the views to clicks ratio and increase your earnings marginally
I block a lot more hits by adding extra user agents to one file with a reasonable amount of success
What would be a nice feature would be an option to block ips if they hit x amount of times with a banned user agent. 7 day, 14 day 30day options etc
The normal person will see the page of doom and either go away or look into solving the problem if they want to see the page.
The morons running these spam / scraping scripts will hit constantly
One which hit me this week, hit from at least 50 user agents. Most of which I have banned
I find it a regular thing to see 100 successive hits come in from a banned user agent
Then they come back again later with another user agent when they find that one failed.
