A follow-up to our referrals announcement
You may have seen our recent post about the upcoming changes to referrals promoting AdSense. Since we made this announcement, we’ve received a number of responses about the program being dependent on the location of the referring publisher. We’ve carefully considered your feedback, and have decided to modify the original plan.
The changes to referrals promoting AdSense will now depend on where your users are located, regardless of your location as a publisher. You’ll earn $100 for every user you refer to AdSense who is located in North America, Latin America or Japan when they generate $100 in AdSense revenue within 180 days and they remove all payment holds. You’ll no longer be paid for users you refer who are located elsewhere. These changes will go into effect the last week of January.

Manage Ads gives you more ad functionality
As we mentioned last week, we’re constantly working to improve the new ad management feature. There’s another wave of minor tweaks to this feature, inspired by your feedback as always.
Hide and seek
We’ve heard from more than a few of you that you’d like to see a ‘delete’ function on the Manage Ads page. To avoid deleting any ad unit that’s currently serving impressions on your pages, we’ve now added a ‘hide’ function so you can avoid displaying ad units you prefer not to see on your Manage Ads page. Just click the ‘Hide’ link associated with a specific ad unit in the Actions column, and the ad will no longer appear when you view your Manage Ads page. Don’t worry, hiding any active ad unit won’t prevent it from generating revenue for you, and you can view your hidden ad units at any time by checking the box that says ‘Show hidden AdSense units’.

We’ve been listening to your comments on our new ad management feature, and so we’re excited to tell you about a few updates that stem directly from your requests:
- You can now view the ID number associated with a specific custom channel by visiting the ‘Channels’ link under the ‘AdSense Setup’ tab. Many of you told us that you needed these channel ID numbers for ad management programs you’re using. We’ve added this information to your account since it no longer appears in your ad code.

Introducing the AdWords Local PlusBox
In a post last month we told you about the location names that appear beneath locally targeted ads. We’ve recently made updates with the introduction of the AdWords Local PlusBox. The Local PlusBox is a feature that displays more geographical information for a local business ad that appears in the top position above Google search results. When users see the Local PlusBox and click on it (see the ‘closed’ screenshot below), the ad expands to include a map, address, driving instructions, and phone number, in addition to the location name that appears beneath the last line of ad.
