There has recently been a change in the Google Adsense Terms and Conditions.
You are now allowed to have s link units on a page. As a result you can have up to 6 ad units in total (3 Ad + 3 Link)
Some uses of the new ads include been able to add link units in small spaces, such as the bottom of the page, in corners, or columns, hopefully these new units will bring in more revenue.
You may have noticed that on the internet there is a lot of sites which seen to just have random content and Adsense adverts. These are called Made For Adsense Sites (MFA).
For example these sites generate content usually from RSS feeds, feed them onto a page. Then use Adsense to profit from people clicking on the sites. Google has recently changed the TOS so that you cannot do this. Many accounts are going to be closed as of June 1st.
This brings relief to publishers of Adsense as they don't have to worry about rubbish adverts appearing which link to these type of sites.
Many owners of these types of site would use a package like this. That enables them to make websites easily and quickly. That type of package which is also good for creating initial sites will hopefully bring and end to Adverts that appear which pay little and lead people to sites that are of no interest.
There comes a time when you are on you website and you need to preview or audit and advert. Due to the terms and conditions of Google Adsense you are not allowed to click on your own adverts so what do you do?
A tool just released is Adsense Preview over at this website. A lot less hassle than Google's Adsense preview tool for Internet Explorer.
I recommend.
You heard of the new Adsense Videos that are coming. Heres the blurb that is coming from Google.
- Click-to-play video ads: This is a video ad type on our content network. Any publisher opted into image ads and using one of the supported formats may see these click-to-play video ads on their sites.
- AdSense video distribution and sponsorship: We ran 2 pilots that allowed publishers to choose video channels (short-form video clips bundled with video ads) to display on their sites.
- In-stream video ads pilot: This is what we're announcing today - we're extending AdSense to online video content. Publishers in this test will be able to define at what point in their videos that streaming video ads will appear.
