Beta Testing for New adsense Interface

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Today, while checking my mail that i uses to do 3-4 times in day, i had a invitation from Adsense Team that they had chosen me as beta tester for its new adsense interface.

Lets talk about the new interface, its fast, its beautiful, the representation had come in dashboard just like your analytics stats. This helps you compare your daily earnings in various metric revenue per ad, targeting, and bid types etc. I will be covering it completely in my upcoming posts are exploring it fully and comparing it with the old version.

This is a partial copy of the mail sent by adsense covering some of the features that will be their in the new interface, official AdSense blog.

Hi,
We’ve been building a new AdSense interface to help publishers get more out of the program, and we’re excited to invite you to participate in a limited beta test. As one of the selected beta testers, you’ll have a first look at the new interface, which includes these benefits:
- Comprehensive performance reports: View your daily stats in graph format, and gain insight into new metrics such as the amount you’re earning from different ad types, targeting types, and bid types.
- Quicker account maintenance: We’ve streamlined the process for a number of common tasks to help you get things done more quickly. Whether you’re trying to update your contact information or make a change to a number of ad units at the same time, you’ll find that these types of tasks require fewer clicks and less account navigation than before.
- Prominent help links: There’s now help content available on every page, so you’ll be able to quickly find answers to your questions while navigating through your account

Here is a sample screen shot of the new adsense interface, its a complete dashboards experience.

Clicksor suggesting itself as an alternative of Adsense and Adbrite

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

Few, days back i got mail from one of my old publisher Clicksor. The have claimed that their new revenue sharing with publishers is the best compared to adsense and adbrite.

Well, looking to their claim i have decided to give it a try again on my popular websites. I previously, had tried their services but was disappointed by the earnings. That time in January i had used their services just for 16 odd days and had earned around $ 41, which was less than their minimum payout. Now when i have checked my account back again after 10 months the unpaid earnings were still their in my account. This was really great, so i decided to test their services again and look at their claim.

January month’s earning made through clicksor from a period of 16 days. Screenshots attached below.

Impressions of clicksor

clicksor earnings from a limited period These are stats that i have made through the pop under , image banner and inline ads, as these two are the only option going along with the adsense TOS (Term of Services). The image ads are not contextual ads, so choose the graphical ads while generating an ad code.

I will be publishing the earning reports in my coming posts, about my new revival experience with clicksor. I am expecting better results this time.

Unauthorized sites that might have used your adsense

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Recently visiting my Adsense account and viewing the list of sites authorized to show my ad codes, i founded one more list of site. This list was the list of sites that are unauthorized and are using your ad codes. Actually, looking into the details over it and viewing these sites, i founded out most of these sites are replica of Google’s homepage, some are redirected to bing.com like cc.bingj.com, some opens at yahoo 404 error page, some open as microsofttranslator.com and lastly www.freeproxy.ws and mail.google.com were not opening.

Now lets look one by one about IP addresses and the truth behind:

  1. Google Homepage Replica’s
    On checking the Whois details of the IP’s and domain’s we founded out that they all operates on the same name servers over which Google operates. The question arises why and how are these domain’s reflecting our ad codes when their source is genuine.
  2. Bingj.com, Microsofttranslator.com (Bing Translator), IP’s
    Its the same story just like the Google homepage replica. But their is diversification in the domains that land in the end. similarly checking the DNS records for the IP’s we founded that the resulting DNS are same.
  3. Yahoo 404 error pages
    IP’s that end up on yahoo 404 error pages are also owned by yahoo as per the DNS record. The last IP (203.104.18.42) in the list reflects that its owned by India Yahoo! Web Services India Pvt Ltd Internet Content Provider.
  4. mail.google.com
    I have no idea about this expect that i uses this URL 10-15 times in a day,yet i was unable to open the link. Yes just try these two links http://www.mail.google.com and http://mail.google.com . First i tried the link with www. and i got shocked, Google is down and than after 2-3 tries i removed the www. and tried again, things went fine now. But the question still remains why these sites displayed my ad codes and entered in the authorized list of Adsense.
  5. www.freeproxy.ws
    I tried to open this link but the site was down, its a proxy site that i have used a lot of time to access sites during my college days. Their might be a change that someone had opened my site through this proxy. The ads in the frame of proxy site will be treated as ads displayed by the proxy sites itself.

So, have a allowed sites list to protect yourself. You never know when things become nasty for adsense publishers, and prevention is the best practice.

As all these sites are genuine and part of a trusted network, so no need to worry. What i think of these IP’s is that they are used to run various services like gmodules, translate, crawling etc, separate from the Google’s main domain. The data gathered and generated over these IP’s is later on linked to the main domain as a sub-domain, without putting load on the main domain.
