Make the move...to Google Accounts

Thursday, May 22, 2008

last MaySite AuthenticationAdSense for searchsign inI don't want to update my AdSense account to the Google Account I use for all of my other products. I'd prefer to keep them separate.'I have an email address and password (Google Account) I already use with Google services like Gmail, Orkut, or the personalized home page.''I'd like to choose a new login name and password just for AdSense'.

Is this secure? I already gave AdWords with my credit card information and AdSense with my bank account info. I don't trust this.I tried to update my account in the past, but I saw this error message: 'The Google Account you've selected is associated with another user.' What do I do?What happens if I don't update?Help CenterPosted by Arlene Lee - AdSense Publisher Support

Introducing third-party ads on the Google content network

Monday, May 19, 2008

How to control third-party ads shown on your siteAd Review CenterCompetitive Ad FilterOptimizing your site to allow third-party ads

Opt into image ads - Currently, third-party ads are only available in image or Flash, so they won't appear in text-only ad units.

Enable advertisers to target your AdSense channels - Most advertisers who use third-party ads are brand-conscious. They prefer to specify websites where their ads will appear in order to optimize the targeting and effectiveness of their campaigns.

Opt into placement targeting - Placement targeting will allow advertisers to target their ads specifically to your site.

AdSense for search now powered by Custom Search

Monday, May 05, 2008

Site Search: You've worked hard to attract users to your site, so it's understandable that you'd be concerned about those users leaving through web search. Now you can choose to provide just site search so users can find all the information they're looking for on your site, and you can host the search results on your own pages so that they can find that information without leaving your site.

Improved indexing of your pages: We've recently improved our indexing technology so that you can provide a more enhanced Site Search experience for your users. AdSense for search will now index even more pages of your site, as long as we’re able to crawl them, so that your users will see more results from your site in your AdSense for search results. Stay tuned for more updates on future crawl and indexing improvements!

Vertical search: You can also allow your users to search across multiple sites - this could be a network of sites that you own or other related sites that you think your users might find useful. If you write book reviews on your blog, for example, you can use vertical search to specify a list of online bookstores for users to search through. Other examples of vertical searches include computer forums, travel blogs, political sites you endorse, etc.

Tuning search results and ads with keywords: Search terms can have different meanings in different contexts, so you can now configure your search engine with relevant keywords. Let's say you manage a site about yoga - you can enter keywords such as 'yoga,' 'exercise,' and 'meditation' so that when a user searches for 'mat,' the search results and ads will be more related to yoga mats and less to commercial floor mats. (You can see an example of this in the video below). In experiments, we've found that this tuning has led to an increase in earnings for publishers.

Selecting ad location: Do you want ads to appear at the top and bottom of your search results? Or along the right sidebar as well, just like on Google.com? Now you can make the call on where ads are placed. (Here's a tip: we've found that placing ads at the top and right monetizes the best for publishers.)

Quick and easy updates: Just as you use our ad management feature to quickly change the settings for your ad and referral units, you'll be able to do the same for your search engine within your AdSense account. Your settings will be saved in your account, so you won't need to generate new search code for each change.
