Category Filtering for English-Speaking Countries
Category filtering is now available in many English-speaking countries including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and India. Category filtering lets you prevent ads from up to 5 specific categories such as religion, politics, and dating from appearing on your pages. Your filters will be applied to ads in English, no matter how they’re targeted. In addition, you’ll be able to see the percentage that each category contributes to your earnings, which can help you understand any revenue impact you might notice as a result of filtering. Read more details on the Inside AdSense blog.
AdSense Email Interviews
To help us better understand what’s most important to our publishers, we’ve recently started conducting email interviews. Interviews are currently available only to publishers located in North America, but we are aiming to expand this program to other countries in the future.
If you’re located in North America, you can sign up for a chance to participate in an email interview and openly discuss your opinions about AdSense with a market researcher. Participants will receive a $50 AdWords credit for their time.
If you’re interested, fill out this form to let us know. We’ll be contacting chosen participants via email; please note that because space is limited, we won’t be able to accept all applications.
Interested in participating in more research opportunities like this in the future? Select “Google market research” in your email preferences. Simply sign in and visit the Contact Preferences page under your My Account tab.
Official AdSense Facebook Fan Page
You expressed your interest in Facebook through the creation of a number of AdSense groups, and we listened. We’re pleased to announce that the official AdSense Facebook Fan Page is now up and running! Our Facebook Fan page is a one-stop shop for up-to-date information and will be synced with the Inside AdSense blog, the @AdSense Twitter feed and our YouTube page.
Sign up to become a fan and take advantage of all of the benefits the official Facebook Fan Page has to offer!

If you do not wish to receive such emails in the future, please visit Language and Contact Preferences section (https://www.google.com/adsense/lang-change – AdSense login required), uncheck the box under ‘Email Preference’, and click ‘Save Changes.’
