Google Adsense: Australians and Japanese can now use video ads

Google adsense changes

Google’s new ad management feature will mean that your ad unit settings (such as colours and channels) for new AdSense for content ad units will be saved in your AdSense account every time you generate ad code. Then, if you’d like to change any of these settings in the future, all you do is make the update within your account — you’ll no longer need to manually replace the ad code on all of your pages.

For instance, you can quickly change the borders of all your 300×250 medium rectangles from red to blue with just a few mouse clicks. Hopefully, this new feature will help you save time and will simplify the process of optimizing your ad units.

Google adsense referrals

When I use Google adsense codes I just rely on the ads matching my content. However, Google referrals allows you to choose categories yourself and you can see how much a referral will pay.

As of June 2007, Google began their AdSense referral program (the one with non-Google products). Go to AdSense Setup > Referrals page, set your language (like Germany, English), and pick some product categories (like Entertainment and Telecommunications) or specific products. You’ll end up with a code snippet for your website as usual.

The crucial difference between referral ads and normal AdSense is that you won’t get paid per click, but only if the visitor who clicked the ad buys something from that site, too (or performs another action, like a newsletter subscription). And there’s one other layout option which normal AdSense doesn’t have: the link-only ad type, because this link will automatically adjust to your page’s font settings, and not break the text flow (and it will also not carry any Google-branding, or disclosure).

Word Press plugin for adsense

I’ve just found a very new plugin which will insert google ads into posts, not just down the side.

It’s here. I have just uploaded it to plugins and activated it.

Let’s hope it works.
