Working with the Ad Review Center

As you may remember, we started enabling the Ad Review Center for publishers back in December to let you review ads placement-targeted to your site. We’ve recently enabled the Ad Review Center for more accounts and will continue rolling it out over the upcoming weeks. To get a publisher’s perspective on the new feature, we chatted with Richard Tribe, Director of ski.com.au.

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’.

AdSense New Manage Ads improvements, compliments of you

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.

AdSense Introducing the Ad Review Center

In an effort to provide you with more transparency and control over the ads appearing on your pages, we’ve developed the Ad Review Center. This new feature, which we’ll be rolling out to publishers over the next few months, will allow you to review ads placement-targeted to your site and ensure those ads are relevant to your site’s users.

Simplified ad management is rolling out now

Two weeks ago, we gave you a sneak peek of what was in store for November. Now, we’re happy to let you know that we’ve started rolling out our new ad management feature to publishers! As a reminder, this feature will save the settings of your ad units within your AdSense account. That means, each time you want to change the colors, channels, or even the corner styles for your ad units, you can make the changes directly in your account rather than generating and pasting new code. Again, we’re still working on rolling this feature out to all publishers, so don’t worry if you don’t see it in your account yet — it’ll be there soon.
