Back in December, we invited you to submit and vote on product ideas
for AdSense. Thanks for participating and voicing your opinions! We
received over 600 ideas, and now, we'd like to follow up on what we're
doing with them.
We've sorted through and categorized your ideas, which ranged from
suggestions such as additional ad format types to new payment methods,
and we recently shared them with the Product Management team. Our
product managers are now looking into a number of these ideas and are
evaluating whether they can be incorporated within our current product
roadmap. We're focused on responding to your feedback, but it might
take a little time before you see the features we choose to include
because product changes require time to build and test across all the
accounts and languages we support. We appreciate your patience in the
meantime.
Also, we noticed a few ideas on the Product Ideas page that relate to
existing features in AdSense, so we'd like to take a moment to
highlight some of them here:
1. You suggested: Show a list of sites displaying ads from a
specific publisher ID to prevent malicious activity.
We recommend: Try the Allowed Sites feature to protect your
account. You can enter the URLs of sites you own, and earnings from
only those sites will be recorded in your account. When you opt in to
this feature, we'll also show you a list of URLs that haven't been
added to the Allowed Sites list, but where your ad code is appearing.
Please keep in mind that if you create additional sites in the future
and would like to earn from them, you'll need to add the URLs to the
Allowed Sites list in order to be credited for valid activity.
To get started with this feature, visit the 'Allowed Sites' page
under your AdSenseSetup tab. You can also find more information in our
Help Center.
2. You suggested: Create an index of AdSense sites so AdWords
advertisers can easily find sites to target.
We recommend: Try the Publisher Center within Google Ad Planner to
provide advertisers with information about your sites. You can claim
sites you own, customize their descriptions, and add categories that
describe your content. In addition, you can share your Google
Analytics data to provide advertisers with insight into your traffic
levels. Recently, we added the ability to display a clickable badge on
your site that will take interested advertisers directly to your Ad
Planner profile. Any publisher can use this feature, but please note
that the interface is currently only available in English.
To claim your sites in Ad Planner, follow our instructions and
visit our Help Center.
3. You suggested: Enable more flexible Custom Search options.
We recommend: Try the Google AJAX Search API or the new Custom
Search Themes feature for additional customization options. These
features will allow you to control the branding of the search box and
change or enhance the look and feel of your search results to match
your site.
For more information on these options, we recommend visiting the
Custom Search blog and the Developer's Guide for the Custom Search
API.
Thanks again for all of your ideas and votes -- stay tuned to Inside
AdSense for the latest news and product updates.
