New features and fixes in the new AdSense interface

Back in November, we announced a new AdSense interface designed to give you more insight into your performance, more control over the ads that appear on your sites, and more efficient account management. We’ve been busy working on the new interface and wanted to share some updates, including new features, things we’re currently investigating, and fixes.

Over the last few months, we’ve heard from publishers that the new interface is more intuitive and easier to navigate than the old interface. In particular, we’ve heard that the new graphs and metrics, including the ability to compare performance over time, are especially useful. If you haven’t spent much time in the new interface, we encourage you to try it out. If you’re already using it, please keep sending us your feedback. The feedback we receive from you, our beta testers, directly influences what we work on. You can submit feedback to our team by clicking the ‘Feedback’ link in the top right corner of your screen while signed in to the new AdSense interface.

Thank you so much for beta testing the new AdSense interface. Keep the feedback coming, and stay tuned for future updates on our blog!

What we’ve added:
• Cents now included in estimated earnings on the Overview page in the new interface.
• Compare two date ranges in your reports to see how your revenue has changed over time.

What we’re working on:
• Increasing speed and improving latency to give you greater efficiency in managing your account.
• Increasing row limit throughout the interface (viewing ad units, channels, reporting).
• Reducing (and eventually removing altogether!) the occurrence of generic error messages like the following:
“We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are unable to process your request at this time. Our engineers have been notified of this problem and will work to resolve it.”

What we’ve fixed:
• Corrected an issue with the ‘since last payment’ calculation. The Estimated Earnings amount on your homepage now accurately shows ‘since last payment’ amount, calculated from the 1st of whichever month the last payment was made.
• Resolved the problem where some Internet Explorer users saw a security-warning message when using the new AdSense interface.

New webinar schedule announced

We’ve just announced a new webinar schedule for the next month. In our upcoming webinars, we’ll highlight changes you can make to your ad implementation in order to maximize your AdSense revenue. We’ll also answer your questions live during each webinar.

To sign up for our webinars, please visit the webinar schedule in our Help Center (https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=22045). Even if you’re not able to attend the live sessions, we’ll make sure to upload each webinar recording within 24 hours of the event.

Thanks for reading,
The AdSense team
