AdSense News: Referrals Yet Again and Early PIN Mailer Sends

Google AdSense seems to have heard the outrage accompanied by their removal of referrals for Google AdSense for publishers outside North America, Japan, and Latin America. This late January, AdSense has issued a statement of their new referral rules for publishers outside the said territories. According to the AdSense blog, as long as your referral […]

New Adsense Ads: Gadget Ads and Pixel Ads

Google sure is working hard lately what with the new updates coming about like there’s no tomorrow. So far, aside from reducing the clickable zone areas, everything’s been good. These two new updates also are and I quite like them. The first would be the Google Gadget Ads. It’s basically some sort of a “fun” […]

AdSense News: Ad Review Center

Aside from the AdSense scrolling ads feature which seems to be in its beta phase, AdSense is also testing out another new addition to its range of features. As a publisher, wouldn’t you prefer it if you have (almost) full control of what ads appear on your web sites? There was this one time when […]

New! Scrolling ads in Google Adsense

A few days ago, I was staring at one of my blogs and noticed something different about my Google Adsense units.

Did Your Adsense Earnings Drop for November?

Over at Performancing, Ahmed Bilal of Soccerlens asked if you had weaned your blog from Adsense yet. I know big Adsense earners are out there, but for some of us, we’re better off exploring other avenues of monetization. However, I believe many new web masters start out with Adsense. And as of late, I’m beginning […]

Adsense Clickable Area Reduced

When I was a bit newer to Adsense, I can’t count the number of times I had been scared of being banned from Adsense so I read the TOS thoroughly. I was especially careful not to accidentally click on my own ads while tweaking the page or something similar. I heard from someone I know […]

New Features: Save Adsense Unit Setting and Resources Tab

Just recently, this November 2007, Adsense introduced a couple of new features for publishers. These features were meant to make publishers’ lives a lot easier and I got to admit, they really did make things a lot easier for me.
