Those who make a decent living from AdSense know the importance of using custom and URL channels to track the performance of their websites. You never know when your earnings spike or drop dramatically. You won’t be able to find out what’s happening unless you are using the right channel structure. Going used to limit the number of custom/URL channels to 200. Google has increased that limit to 500 custom channels per product and 500 URL channels for AdSense for content.

To date, you’ve been limited to a total of 200 custom and URL channels, and many of you have asked for more. That’s why today, we’re very excited to announce that we’ve raised this limit to 500 custom channels per product, and 500 URL channels for AdSense for content. (more…)

Remove Tax Hold from your AdSense Account

A short while ago, Google discontinued the old interface and forced everyone to adopt the new interface. As it happened, our account went on a hold when we were switched over. The problem? Google needed our tax information yet again. If you are making any kind of money from AdSense, you need to provide Google with your tax information. In fact, Google has announced that it will soon start sending tax documents to publishers making money off of Google.

To ensure that your AdSense account reflects your current tax standing, you may even re-submit your tax information. We’ll soon be using the information in your AdSense account to generate your tax forms for 2011, so you’ll want to make sure that the information we have is correct. (more…)

Connecting Google+ To AdWords

Posted by PPC Fanatic in PPC Advertising on 11 10th, 2011 | No Comments

It is not a surprise to see Google introduce Google+ pages. Businesses have been asking for that feature for a long time. Google has also announced that businesses can connect their business pages to their AdWords campaign. What does that mean? All the +1s you receive online from your page, website, ads, and search results will be tallied together as one. With Social Extensions, your visitors will be able to see all your recommendations in one place.

Currently (and for campaigns that don’t have Social Extensions enabled) your AdWords ads only show +1’s from people who have +1’d that ad’s landing page. This limits the likelihood that someone who sees your ad will have a friend or contact who’s recommended it. (more…)

Over the past months, we’ve been working to improve the new AdSense interface and develop features that provide you with additional insights, control, and efficiency. Beyond the visual redesign, some of the new features only available in the new interface include multi-dimension reporting, reporting by country and platform, and search functionality in the Ad review center.
