| New Google Adsense Features | This is a combination of both sets of new features that google has released. First off, they have redesigned their FAQ, added an invite a friend link (no referral commission), and also have added a contact form to get in touch with them. Also, adsense for search has been expanded to 21 languages.
More importantly, URL channels have been added. Now, you don't have to set up different codes for different pages you wish to track. I had limited my channels just because of the time it would take to set them up. Now, you just add the url you wish to track into a list, and it starts working. Up to 60 channels can be created.
Lastly, google will be testing out using animated gifs in their adsense rotations. I'm definitely glad I can opt out of showing images if I wish. | |
