[Inside AdSense] View your top channels on the new interface homepage

You've been asking, and today we're excited to announce that you can now view your top 10 performing custom and URL channels directly on the homepage of the new AdSense interface. We understand that many of you log in frequently throughout the day to check in on your stats, and this latest change will allow you to get a quick snapshot directly from the new interface.

When you log in to the new AdSense interface, you'll see your top channels by estimated earnings along with the percentage change for the selected time period. So if you've chosen to view the last 7 days, you'll see your top performing channels for that time range along with the percentage change they experienced compared to the prior 7 day period.

Thanks for all of the feedback you provided about bringing this report to the new interface -- you can check out this update by logging in to the new AdSense interface today. As a reminder, we're gradually moving away from the older version and focusing on building improvements like these in the new interface.

[Inside AdSense] Getting to know you at AdSense In Your City events

During this summer, a few of us on the North America AdSense team had the pleasure of meeting publishers in person during AdSense in Your City events. First, we stopped by our office in Boulder, Colorado to provide publishers with AdSense updates and tips (and we fell in love with the city as well!). We then headed to our offices in Toronto and New York to host a series of similar events for local publishers. It was a busy week, but we thoroughly enjoyed the valuable face-to-face time with you.

While our goal during these events is to provide information to you, we also learn a lot from our attendees. We asked a few participants some questions about AdSense and the event, and here's what they had to say:

What is your favorite thing about AdSense?
"Depth of advertisers. Allows me to do what I do best." Darren O.
"AdSense was the easiest and most effective way to monetize my site." Andrew D.

What did you learn from the AdSense in Your City event?
"I'm very interested in DoubleClick for Publishers Small Business. Right now I use a more limited ad server and I can likely increase CPM with better technology." Darren O.
"It always amazes me how you can learn more about optimizing your revenue when attending Google sessions like this. It helped me focus on AdSense issues I have neglected over time. I will definitely implement and test some changes that were suggested. Also, I have met other publishers and learned from them." Max L.

What tip do you have for other publishers?
"Jump in and try it [AdSense] - it's super easy." Darren O.
"Simple changes such as color and ad position have increased my CTR by over 30%." Andrew D.

Thanks for providing candid feedback and we hope to continue hearing from you. We'll be visiting other cities through our AdSense in Your City program, so make sure you're opted in to our mailings so we can inform you about upcoming events!

[Inside AdSense] Gold Star Partner Showcase

A few weeks ago, we announced the Gold Star Partnership Showcase as an opportunity to publicly recognize some of our amazing AdSense partners.

We asked you, our blog readers, to submit your sites for consideration and to tell us why your site should be featured. After carefully reviewing each submission, we've selected three publishers that we believe clearly demonstrate the qualities we were looking for:

Exhibiting original, engaging and useful content for users
Adhering to the AdSense policies
Testing and trying new ways to optimize AdSense ad placements

We'll share the stories of these three publishers over the coming weeks. Today we'd like to highlight Brandon Cornett, founder of HomeBuyingInstitute.com:

Name: Brandon Cornett
AdSense publisher for: 3-5 years

We share all of this information with our readers, and at no cost. We also publish a real estate news blog that is currently included within Google News."

What makes homebuyinginstitute.com a great AdSense partner?

"We publish unbiased information and advice for home buyers. We are not trying to sell them anything, like most housing-related websites. We are dedicated to creating a smarter class of home buyers and homeowners, to reduce the chances of another housing crisis.

We are currently finishing a major content overhaul. Over the last few months, we have been updating and/or expanding every single article on the site. More than 200 new articles have been published since March 2011."

Why do you love AdSense?

"Revenue. Simplicity. Reach."

Finally, we want to thank everyone who took the time to submit their site for consideration! It's always great to see the vast array of sites in the AdSense network, and we hope you'll continue to develop and optimize your sites.
