I got an email over the holidays from an AdSense publisher who was struggling with the fact her blog was being plagued by ads for Xanax, Tramadol and other prescription drugs. But the problem wasn’t on all her pages, it seemed only a few were totally off-target for the site content at first. So she ignored [...]

When Google Chrome was released earlier this week, I spent some time checking out how my various websites displayed in Google Chrome, which it seemed to pass with flying colors… that is until I noticed Google Chrome is somehow changing how Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN) ads are displayed.

If you logged in this evening and discovered you only had about 1/10th of the revenue you were expecting, have no fear. Google AdSense was doing some maintenance today, although their maintenance did run 2-3 hours passed their expected maintenance time.

I will be posting my comments on the whole Yahoo & Google advertising deal that was announced, but Shoemoney & I did a live webcast video show today, and my thoughts on what this means for publishers was one of the topics we discussed today (among other things, such as boothbabes, Google buying Digg and [...]

Before you start panicking when you login to your trusty AdSense account only to discover you have about 2% of the earnings you would expect for this time of day, Google seems to be experiencing a massive delay in updating their stats.

If you wanted to see how your link units were performing on a site or a page, you used to have to tag them with a seperate channel, but the results were skewed because there were impressions on the site and impressions once the actual page of link units was displayed.

AdSense Optimization Boot Camp Tip #10
It doesn’t cease to amaze me how many publishers are so concerned about their AdSense revenue - especially when it is the most significant portion, if not all, of their income - that they don’t dare use anything else on the page in case “Google gets mad”. Well, fortunately for publishers, [...]

AdSense Optimization Boot Camp Tip #9

Google has launched their new Ad Manager platform, a “hosted ad management solution”. It is free for publishers (at least it is as of now), although [...]
