AdSense launches new user interface for publishers

The adSense user interface has not changed much since AdSense originally launched back in 2003, with the exception of adding the new account overview page a few years ago.  But today AdSense announced at Content Revenue Strategies a brand new user interface for publishers.  It is starting as a closed beta, but if you are [...]

Google allowing publishers to block 3 more categories

If you were among the many people who loves Google’s Category Filters option, which allows publishers to automatically block all ads in a specific category (ie. blocking all weight loss ads), you will be happy to know that Google will be allowing publishers to block three more categories per account.  So as soon as it [...]

How to get one-on-one time with an AdSense account rep

One of the questions I am asked most frequently is how to get an AdSense account rep, especially from those publishers who are stuck in a generic support loop.  And at many conferences there might be one or two AdSense reps on hand to answer standard AdSense related questions, there is a definite desire by [...]

Google News showing inappropriate ads on embedded YouTube videos

I have been on the road for most of the last two weeks, so I have been getting current events news on both CNN.com and Google News, particularly about the Air France plane crash.  A couple of days ago I noticed Google News was now embedding videos from (what I believe are) “trusted video news [...]
