The ads you've been searching for: Introducing AdSense Custom Search Ads

If your site is search-focused -- for example, if your users are looking for jobs, travel, products, or local businesses -- the ads you display can now be targeted to the same search query you use to return results.

This means more relevant ads for users, more revenue for publishers, and better value to advertisers. Today we're excited to share our latest AdSense for search product: Custom Search Ads. In addition to great targeting, Custom Search Ads are designed to fit your existing search results' look and feel. Instead of pre-defined sizes, you can specify the precise width of each ad unit along with the number of individual ads to display, the ad layout, font size, font face, and much more.

Making the web faster for all AdSense for content publishers

At Google, we spend a lot of time working to make the web faster. Your site is no exception. And today, as part of this vision, we're pleased to announce a major boost in speed for AdSense publishers worldwide.

AdSense ads, like any element on a webpage, usually contribute to the time the page takes to load. Last year, we ran tests that showed AdSense adding 12% on average to the time it took to load various pages from top web sites, so we set out to make this better. We've now developed a new ads delivery technique to improve the speed of websites that display AdSense ads, so that it doesn't slow down your page content. We're very happy to announce that we've eliminated this slowdown for the majority of websites and for a number of browsers, and are seeing pages load as much as a second faster than before.

We frequently review our product and feature offerings to ensure they're as effective as possible.

Based on these reviews and on feedback from our non-profit partners, we'll gradually begin retiring public service ads (PSAs) from AdSense sites so that we can focus our efforts on developing new opportunities for these partners.

General category blocking is an important update to the new AdSense interface that offers you more controls over the ads that appear on your website.

With this new control, you can opt out of receiving ads from across 170 specific categories, including finance, travel, job, and automotive. We show the percentage of total revenue and total impressions for each category to give you insight into the categories of ads that appear on your site and the relative spend in those categories. Keep in mind that blocking categories may have a negative impact on your potential revenue so it's important to review the % of total revenue and total impressions carefully before deciding to block a certain category.

Ads Security: 2012 Retrospective

While most people are working on productive New Year's resolutions, scammers and bad actors will begin 2013 with the same old goal: make money with the help of bad ads.

Advertising helps fund businesses online and enables them to provide services and content for free to their users. But, bad ads can ruin your web experience, putting you and legitimate businesses in harm's way. We have a vested interest in fighting bad ads and their sources with considerable firepower. Luckily, our ads quality team hasn't changed its New Year's resolutions either: stop bad ads and eliminate bad actors from our systems. In 2012, we continued to make progress towards this goal: we introduced new tools for stopping bad ads, provided greater transparency around the ads review process, and explained how advertisers can connect with us if we ever mistakenly disapprove good ads. Below is a more complete look at our efforts to combat bad ads in 2012.

Unique sitelinks policy will be more proactively enforced - Inside AdWords

Sitelinks give users a choice of destinations on your website that they can visit directly from your text ads. Hopefully you've already been using sitelinks to improve your campaign performance.

Maybe you're now preparing your campaigns to be eligible for enhanced sitelinks, which offer an even bigger boost. Our existing policy has required each sitelink in a campaign to link to a different landing page. That means a user would have a meaningfully different experience on the landing page from each sitelink. Recently, though, we've noticed an increase in the number of sitelinks created with the same landing page URLs or identical content. So starting today, we are beginning more proactive enforcement of our policy.

Taking Extra Precautions to Keep Ads Safe

September 12, 2012

The overwhelming majority of our advertisers never serve an ad that violates our policies and terms. But occasionally we see violations, and on very rare occasions, our systems wrongly detect an ad as being in violation of policy.

I wanted to explain why this happens and what you can do if it happens to you. Ads help fund businesses across the web, and enable people everywhere to enjoy their favorite services and content, often for free. Yet, bad online advertising practices - like spammy emails, deceptive or misleading ads, and worse - quickly ruin users' experiences online and discourage people from using the web. As a result, we all have a vested interest in fighting these bad ads with serious firepower. Last year, of the billions of ads submitted to Google we disabled more than 130 million, and reduced the percentage of bad ads by more than 50% compared with the year before. These are big numbers, but we're doing what's necessary to deliver a safe, trustworthy experience that meets our highest standards.
