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…)

Google has also announced that businesses can connect their business pages to their AdWords campaign.  What does that mean?

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…)

Google has been updating and giving makeover to many of its services in the past few months. That includes its AdWords and AdSense programs. Google now plans to change the way ads are displayed in the SERPs. Ads that used to be shown in the side may now be shown below the top listings. (more…)
