A new type of ad are about to release that can appear on your pages. Expandable ads are rich media ads that can expand beyond the original size of the ad unit, following a user-initiated action. This will allow ads to interact more with interested users. For instance, expandable ads may stream a movie trailer, show video game clips, or display various views of an item for sale.
While browsing I saw a website with AdSense displayed at it pages. The ads display was not the classic one which we see usually. I wondered whether it had been modified or tweaked a little bit. Out of curiosity, while carefully placing mouse over it, I saw the URL towards which it was pointing to. I will not disclose at what part I placed my mouse over to see the targeted URL and what website it was. I am sorry (I have not much authority over blogsphere). But the URL was pointing towards the Google-Adsense-Support-Contact-Report-Violation kind of place. I searched a bit and then found the Google Support Contact URL for reporting about policies violation. I read the instructions thoroughly and thought that it is important for every AdSense user to know these. I would request all AdSense users to please always read the Google guidelines and policies to be safe and play fair. The thing is, if you would try to be smart and do not play fair, I am guessing by the incident that Google always knows already and they will place a link pointing towards the report content violation form within Ads, so that anybody can report about the violation. I would like to share those main points with you as Google AdSense Team has described.

Previously I have written about Google Adsense Widget by yahoo widgets but now that widget is not working for some reason. That problem may be solved sooner or later but I want to let you know about another option. Google has got gadgets like yahoo widgets including:
Sidebar with gadgets
- Add Google Gadgets to customize your desktop and iGoogle!
- Get news, weather and more anywhere on your desktop
Google Adsense Gadgets
After you install the Google Desktop, a sidebar will appear at the desktop which will be able to find, browse or add gadgets and you can search for Adsense desktop gadgets to install and use those. This will be a great time saver for Adsense Users.
By optimizing the ads on your blog and section targeting you can generate even more revenue with your Google Adsense.
Blogtimize - Optimize the ads on your blog
When working with a blog, you're facing some interesting ad implementation challenges: a predetermined page format, highly targeted content, and regular visitors, among other things. To make the most of your readership and content, here are a few suggestions:
- Blend ads into your blog
- Experiment with multiple ad formats and locations
- Offer readers more options with search
- Improve ad targeting
Section targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and HTML content that you'd like us to emphasize or downplay when matching ads to your site's content.
To implement section targeting, you'll need to add a set of special HTML comment tags to your code. These tags will mark the beginning and end of whichever section(s) you'd like to emphasize or de-emphasize for ad targeting.
The HTML tags to emphasize a page section take the following format:
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
Your rest of content to be targeted should go in between above two commented codes.
You can also designate sections you'd like to have ignored by adding a (weight=ignore) to the starting tag:
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->
In order to properly implement this feature, you'll need to include a significant amount of content within the section targeting tags.

Better AdSense
by on
I might call this better AdSense. There is a lot of experimentation and testing going on at AdSense program. Recently I saw a modified AdSense unit at my Photo Pages which had back and next arrow controls with slide out and fade in effects between ads. There are also new Interactive AdSense units with pictures spotted according to Darren Rowse at problogger at UK Tech site. This is testing of new ad formats which is really very interesting. It seems like AdSense team is enhancing their program in an interesting way for publishers, advertisers and visitors to interact more with audience and its really cool.
Darren Rowse has mentioned also other new AdSense Ad units

When I started displaying Google AdSense at my website I wondered that how much will I be earning from Google Adsense. I mean nobody like much ads at his clean website. You are giving some sacrifice by displaying some ads. But then if you now look at Google Adsense Program, it is more refined now. More accurate. More beneficial. Its not a bad idea to offer your website users other options to browse about your own website related content. Now when ads are displayed at any page, links related to your content are generated not only maximizing your website potential but also you earn ofcourse besides quality links options from quality product based websites too.
Ever wondered how much you can earn from Google AdSense? Ever doubted from somebody who claimed that he can be rich just from online business or online advertisement?
Google Adsense is perhaps No.1 ads placement resourceful service over the internet. Look at this guy's check and notice how much he has earned from Google Adsense, and this photo is his September 2005 check from Google AdSense.
How Google AdSense Program Works?
The publisher (webmaster) inserts a javascript code into a certain website. Each time the page is accessed, the java script will pull advertisements from the Adsense program. The ads that are targeted should therefore be related to the content that is contained on the web page serving the ad. If a visitor clicks on an advertisement, the webmaster serving the ad earns a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying the search engine for the click.
Benefits of Google AdSense Program
- The search engine is the one handling all the tracking and payments, providing an easy way for webmasters to display content-sensitive and targeted ads without the hassle to solicit advertisers, collect funds, monitor the clicks and statistics which could be a time-consuming task. It seems that there is never a shortage of advertisers in the program from which Google pulls Adsense ads. Also webmasters can be less concerned by the lack of information search engines are providing and can focus more on the value of their websites.
- Google AdSense has already come a long way in understanding the needs of publishers and webmasters. Together with its continuous progression is the appearance of more advanced system that allows full ad customization.Webmasters are given the chance to choose from many different types of text ad formats to better complement their website and fit their webpage layout.
- The different formatting of ads enables site owners to customize ads look and feel exactly like the website design and colors; thus making the AdSense program website-design compatible.
- The ability of the Adsense publishers to track not only how their sites are progressing but also the earnings based on the webmaster-defined channels.
- The recent improvements in the search engines gives webmasters the capability to monitor how their ads are performing using customizable reports that has the capacity to provide detailed page impressions, clicks and click-through rates.
- Webmasters and publishers can now track specific ad formats, colors and pages within a website. Trends are also easily spotted. With the real-time reporting at hand, the effectiveness of the changes made will be assessed quickly. There would be time to sort out the content that people are making the most clicks on. The ever-changing demands would be met while generating cash for the webmasters and publishers. The flexible tools are also allowing webmasters to group web pages by URL, domain, ad type or category, which will provide them some accurate insight on which pages, ads and domains are performing best.
- The advertisers have realized the benefits associated having their ads served on targeted websites. Thus increasing the possibility that a prospective web surfer will have an interest in their product and services.
- Who are not using Adsense in their sites, they are given the option of having other people do their advertisement for them, giving them the benefit of having successful and money-generating web sites.
- Adsense is all about targeted content, the more targeted your content is, the more relevant the search engines’ ads will be. There are some web masters and publishers who are focused more on their site contents and how best to maintain them rather than the cash that the ads will generate for them. This is the part where the effectiveness is working its best.
