Maximizing revenue by exposing your channels to the right advertisers
As you may know, you can set up your custom channels so that they're targetable by advertisers - these targetable custom channels are known as ad placements. By selecting the 'Allow advertisers to target this channel' checkbox on the channel creation page, you can enable brand advertisers to target their content to your audience directly on a CPM or CPC basis.
Creating ad placements allows them to show up in AdWords, so that advertisers who create placement-targeted campaigns can include your content directly. What many publishers don't know is that this also makes your content available to Google's internal sales teams, who work closely with many advertisers looking to target a certain audience or type of content. With this in mind, we thought it would be important to mention a few best practices which will help advertisers and our internal sales teams target your content to help you maximize revenue:
First, take time to make sure your channel names and descriptions accurately describe your content and audience. By including descriptions that closely reflect your content, you'll also attract advertisers from those areas. Naming and descriptions are important. 
On that note, our second tip: be very careful about changing the name of an ad placement. If an advertiser has already targeted one of your specific channels, the channel will become unavailable to the advertiser once you change its name. If you wish to rename a channel, we recommend creating a second channel with the new name, and then attaching both channels to your ad unit. Remember, you can attach up to five custom channels to an ad unit.
Third, use the 300x250 medium rectangle, opted in to both text and image ads. This is one type of targetable ad unit that's in high demand by Google's CPM advertisers. We recommend placing these units in line with your content, and describing them as they relate to the content. This combination of format and placement enables advertisers to use image, text, or wealthy media (including gadget ads) effectively. In feeds, we recommend opting in to both image and text in every ad units, as many of these advertisers only target with image ads into feeds.
Finally, as always, the most important tip for maximizing revenue from your ad placements is to create quality content that is visually appealing and attracts a quality audience. Many brand advertisers look at every placements before placing an advertising order to make sure the destination sites are in line with their brand and attract the type of audience they wish to target for a particular campaign.

Block this way
When we notice a spike in readers who are interested in a specific topic, we like to address it as soon as we can. There's been some interest in filtering ads from publisher pages, so here's a quick refresher on the filtering tools we offer:
Competitive Ad Filter
You can restrict contextually-targeted and placement-targeted ads from appearing on your pages by adding the URL of each ad to your Competitive Ad Filter. After logging in to your account, click the AdSense Setup tab and visit the 'Competitive Ad Filter' page. You can also find full instructions and tips for entering in specific URLs in our Help middle. To determine the URL of an ad, try the AdSense Preview Tool or follow these steps. Please keep in mind that it may take several hours for the filter to take effect.
Ad Review middle
The Ad Review middle gives you additional control over the placement-targeted ads that may appear on your pages. Using the Ad Review middle, you can review specific ad groups and advertisers before they appear on your pages, and also block ads by type. You'll need to opt in to the Ad Review middle at the top of your Competitive Ad Filter page, and then you can start reviewing ads.

The Dixie Chicks can make people more innovative
The idea of social data portability - "the option to use your personal data between trusted applications and vendors" - has been around for some time now. The DataPortability Project is focused on consumer-oriented sites, and not corporate internal use. The Project people even say so.
Perhaps it's time, though, to change that. Let me tell you a story.
I recently got a new job. I decided to "go new" on many things, including a new hairdo (it's swingy!). Then, I thought, "I know! I'll update my profile picture!" That's when I got irritated. look, I belong to... (counting, hang on)... well, damn. I have profiles that include my photo on these social sites:
Jive Brewspace (internal deployment of Clearspace)
Jivespace (external deployment of Clearspace Community for developers)
Clearstep (another external deployment of Jive Clearspace Community for user adoption and other business practices)
Wordpress
LinkedIn
Facebook
Last.fm
Picasa
Twitter
Friendfeed
GTalk
Ask me how long it took to update my photo across every these sites. Now, think about how I also had to change my place of work, email address, maybe a mobile phone number, etc. Yeah. Now you understand the need for social data portability. But really, that's just the surface.
So, what's the data portability picture for the enterprise?
Data portability for the enterprise means blurring even more the lines between enterprise and consumer personal data, and more importantly, making folks more aware of who and what people know, both inside and outside the enterprise.
Let me explain.
Think about every the bits and pieces of your worklife, strewn about every those different systems: HR systems, skills databases, LDAP directories, employee whitepages, LinkedIn, etc. Wouldn't it be great if you could manage every that personal data from a single spot? It can live where it lives – I would call it data transparency, though, not data portability. This can already be accomplished by using data mapping tools in market today, but it takes some serious customization muscles to tug off, not to mention many lunches and cocktails to woo the czars in charge of every of those internal systems so they play nice.
At least with the consumer sites, this becomes easier when enterprise social software systems support data portability. For example, we announced today that we're supporting the DataPortability Project, alongside LinkedIn, Google, Facebook, and others. This means that, if you're using Jive Clearspace inside your enterprise, or Jive Clearspace Community in an external customer and/or business partner environment, your people will eventually be able to plop their LinkedIn or Facebook or other consumer profile information into their Clearspace profile, hopefully with ease and aplomb.
And then, think about every the relationships you've created, not only inside your organization, but on every those consumer sites. With everyone supporting the DataPortability Project, I'll be able to display (not port) every the people I'm connected to out of Facebook, FriendFeed, Twitter, etc., in my intranet and extranet profiles. That way, my colleagues and customers can more easily look who I know, and more importantly, in what context I know them. Context is critical to understanding the nature of a given relationship. Without that understanding, it's kinda useless to know that I know someone.
Let's take this idea a step further: Why on earth would anyone I work with want to look who's music I hear to on last.fm? Because, those folks might actually be valuable contacts within a different context. And, my Jive colleagues might be able to start a trusted relationship with them based solely on similar music tastes. This is a wonderful way to tap the voices of thousands over time, especially if creating innovative products is your thing.
Imagine what could eventually result from a conversation about how much two people adore the Dixie Chicks, for example.
Now, to take this idea another step even further, read Sam's take on data portability.

Local search site Local.com has integrated local video ads throughout its site. Initially the ads will arrive from Jivox, an online local video advertising provider. Eventually, the video ads will expand to include more providers.
“We believe that video advertising provides consumers with relevant, timely information about local businesses, products and services. It’s natural for video to be integrated into our local search ecosystem over time,” said Kim LaFleur, Local.com vice president, product management. “Local video bridges the product gap that exists between businesses that advertise in print, but perhaps don’t have the budget to move to television advertising yet, and unlike TV advertising, ROI is fully trackable. We plan to incorporate additional video capabilities and syndication to our network next year.”

Lucy's final tips for Friday newbies
As the summer draws to a close, it is with a heavy heart that I bring you our last Newbie Friday post. I wish you've enjoyed our words of wisdom over the past few months and have found the information useful. Our team will continue to update this blog with the most up-to-date AdSense news and information, so please don't let this be goodbye. If you missed part of the series or want to re-read specific posts, just visit our Newbie label at any time and look for our summer-themed logo. So, from one oldie to many newbies, I'll close out this season with a few final tips for our new publishers.
Go wide and receive wealthy (media)
If you've just recently started with AdSense, there are two format-related tips I would instantly recommend. The first is to enable both text and image ads, which will increase competition among ads to appear in your ad units and may result in higher CPMs. Second, use some of our wider units, such as the 160x600 wide skyscraper, the 300x250 medium rectangle, or the 728x90 leaderboard. There are more wealthy media (image, flash, video and gadget) ads available in wider ad formats, and wider ad units are the preferred formats for advertisers looking to target your site. Again, increased competition or your ad space will help you maximise your earnings potential.
Use channels
Channels are powerful reporting tools, sometimes overlooked by new publishers. They allow you to view the AdSense performance of a site, a specific page, or even a specific ad unit, which can help you look where your ads are performing best. You can name these channels, give them descriptions, and then define them as ad placements so that they are visible to AdWords advertisers.
The secret
As top AdSense earners will tell you, when it comes to earning with AdSense, the most important thing is a policy-compliant site with good-quality, original content. Such sites attract users, relevant ads and, ultimately, revenue.
Finally, we constantly maintain online resources like our AdSense Help Forum, Newbie Central, and our Known Issues page to share useful information with you. We wish you'll use them to make the most of AdSense.

Chasing the perfect layout with AdSense for search
AdSense publisher Next tiny Things has long understood that search is the entry point for users to find what they're looking for on the web. In fact, the idea for CoolChaser.com, a MySpace layout creation and customization site (and Next tiny Things's largest business to date), came from the observation that many web surfers were using the company's search engine to find instructions to change their MySpace backgrounds. The observation and ensuing business idea has paid off, and in just one year CoolChaser.com has gained a loyal user base: over 200,000 users are now finding or creating layouts on the site every day. "CoolChaser has become a one-cease-store for layouts because of the ease of use and the choice and ability for users to express what they feel at the time," says founder Chao Lam.
With over 20 million user-submitted layouts (and 3,000 created every hour), it was becoming increasingly difficult for users to find the layouts they were looking for. "We were getting a lot of requests from users to provide some sort of search mechanism so that they could easily find what they were looking for," developer Sachiko Kwan says. As an existing AdSense publisher, Kwan decided to try AdSense for search and was immediately impressed by the quick setup process and the accuracy of the results. With the new SiteSearch feature, Kwan was able to restrict the searches so users didn't have to leave the site to find what they were looking for. In addition, the new watermark feature allowed Kwan to add the search box without any rearrangement in the navigation bar.
Most recently, Lam and Kwan began optimizing their search for better performance and user experience. If a user wasn't creating a layout, they were looking for one. So Kwan moved the search box from the upper right corner of each page to the middle of the header and also added a second search box to the bottom of every page, in case users who were done browsing needed to search again. On the search results page, she changed the ad borders to a lighter color to better blend in with the site's pages.
Within a week of making these changes, Lam and Kwan saw their daily search queries on CoolChaser increase by 40% and earnings more than double. Since implementing AdSense for search on CoolChaser, search has become the second most popular functionality behind creating layouts. Lam and Kwan continue to focus on user experience, and they are now working to refine search results using keywords and labels. "There's such an enormous variety of things people search for," Lam says. "AdSense for search is really working for us."
Have you had success with AdSense for search, or our new optimization tips? If so, we'd adore to hear from you.

Optimisation Essentials (Part II)
Dress for success - impressing your audience
The video below is the second in our "Optimisation Essentials" series, demonstrating our top three tips for maximising your AdSense for Content performance. Last week, we reinforced the importance of bigger ad units. This week, we're showcasing how a better ad unit design can result in improved AdSense performance.
*Please note that no leopards were harmed in the making of this video!
Over the years, we've seen some colourful ad unit designs. Some publishers design ad units that contrast with their site so that they stand out. Although this can work in some cases, we've found that ad units that match your site's design tend to perform better in terms of revenue and click-through-rate. Users are more likely to read ads when they're well integrated into your site.
When you design your AdSense ads, keep these tips in mind:
- Use colours that either blend with or complement your site's colours. Make the ads a part of your site.
- Use lighter colours for borders, or no border at every.
- Try rotating colours or occasionally switching the location of your ads on the page.
- keep sets of frequently-used colours as a palette.

Ballmer on post-Yang Yahoo! Acquistion: What Part of No Did You Not Understand?
After news came that Jerry Yang would be stepping down as Yahoo!'s CEO, the immediate reaction by analysts, Wall road, and your neighbor's cat was: MICROSOFT ACQUISITION TIME!
But Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, is saying: Not so quick.
Ballmer has said time and again that Microsoft has moved on from the possibility of returning to the good ol' days of negotiating a Yahoo! acquisition.
And while it's tempting to think that he's just waiting for that stock to drop to around $2-3 a share (hey, only $6-7 more to go!), consider this: Yahoo's VP of Search Technology, Sean Suchter is leaving the Sunnyvale search engine. And I wish he likes rain and coffee, because rumor has it that he's headed to Microsoft.
That rumor was reported by none other than Kara Swisher, who is pretty much never wrong. The only thing I'm wondering is: Where's the noncompete agreement?
Amidst the rumors and denials, one thing is for sure. No matter how much Ballmer would like the speculation to end, it won't.

To receive you in the Halloween spirit, consider these ways to celebrate with AdSense:

- perform some optimization magic on your ad units
- change your ad unit color palette to orange and black*
- create an ad placement that highlights your spookiest (or, okay, most prominent) ad units to advertisers
- eat candy corn, then use your AdSense payments to cover the dental work
Over here at the Mountain View campus, we're keeping it festive, too.

Quality, not quantity
As we mentioned a few weeks ago, you can use your AdSense account to display ads on any policy-compliant sites you possess. This has often sparked the question among new publishers of 'How many sites do I need to earn money with AdSense?'
We'd like to stress that it's not the number of sites you have, but the quality of those sites that will help you increase your earnings with AdSense. If you're just getting started with your first website and the AdSense program, we recommend taking the time to build up your site with plenty of original, quality content -- write about topics you're passionate about, or which you have expertise in. When designing your website, keep our Webmaster Guidelines and, most importantly, your users in mind.
Then, take advantage of our Webmaster Tools to help increase your site's visibility in the Google search index, and try out the tips our Search Quality Evaluators have provided. Once you've built up organic traffic to your site, use Website Optimizer to understand how users interact with your pages and make improvements to your layout. And of course, during every of this, experiment with AdSense optimization tips to learn which colors, formats, and placements monetize best on your site.
Finally, as we blogged about during this Newbie Fridays series, your earnings potential can go up as advertisers find that you're sending high-quality leads to their sites. This won't happen overnight, but with patience and difficult work you can watch your efforts convert into a high-quality site and higher AdSense earnings. And you won't even need a hundred sites to do it :)

Make a date with data in Google Analytics
Here in AdSense, we’re big on data. From spreadsheets and graphs to weekly reports and metrics, we constantly turn to numbers when running our business. In a similar vein, we've heard your requests for more data to help you run your AdSense websites, which is why we’re excited to announce the integration of one of our personal favorite reporting tools, Google Analytics, with AdSense. We're gradually rolling out this functionality to publishers, and you'll look an invitation link at the top of your 'Overview' and 'Advanced Reports' pages when it's been enabled for your account.

Is Self Hosting an Option?
The role of providing the facilities and the hardware to enable the public to host their web-sites has traditionally fallen on Data Centers. Constant availability, large volume bandwidth, on-demand and upgradeable disk space and reliable and evolving hardware are why hosting has for been coupled with data centers. It has long been believed that except for a select few technically inclined, self hosting was not an option for the general public. Today, however, the option of self hosting is well within reach for many more users. To read more click the link.

The AdSensePro team would like to cordially invite you to the opening of our new English AdSense Help Forum.
We wish that by now you've found the AdSense Help Forum to be the best place to ask questions and share tips with other AdSense publishers. We've been listening to your feedback about forum features you'd like to look, and we're excited to announce that we're moving the English Forum from Google Groups to a brand new platform. (For those who participate in the Forum in another language: relax assured that our engineers are working on making this new platform available in additional languages, although we don't have a set date at this time.)
As of today, we've closed up store and moved the English Forum next door to the AdSense Help middle. We've been jealous of the Help middle for a while now. Its innovative interface, clear categories, and snazzy search powered by CSE left us feeling like the odd man out.
Now we've almost got it every. We have the look and feel of the Help middle with the same CSE to search across the Forum, the Help middle, and the blog. We have the same categories as the Help middle, so you can easily transition from one category to the another. We even have some extra things we wish you'll really like: a system of levels to reward your contributions to the Forum, and profiles where you can put a picture next to your name. You can subscribe to the Forum (or to individual discussions) by RSS feed. You can post a question and receive your answer by email. You can even vote on which response best answers the question and mark a best answer to a question you asked. 
We wish you'll arrive take a look, and we wish you'll stay a while, sign into your Google Account, and ask and answer questions.

What Is The Best Day Of The Week To Send Email Newsletters & Campaigns
Hi every, This has always been a debate that I have heard for years and I am looking for some real concrete and supported claims. I have heard just ab
The forecast is clear in Google Ad Manager
If you're a publisher who sells advertising space directly to advertisers, you might have experienced times when you've been unsure about how much inventory is available for you to sell. Google Ad Manager can help you learn what you have available to sell by forecasting your future inventory and subtracting off what you've already sold.
A Helpful Analogy
To put this into context, pretend for a minute that instead of a website, you run a popular destination hotel. Instead of selling space to advertisers, your job is to book hotel stays for guests. You receive every kinds of requests to book hotel rooms: two rooms for a one-week family vacation, 100 rooms for a three-day conference, a suite for a weekend getaway. In order to book these reservations, you have to know both how many rooms your hotel has and how many rooms are already booked. For a hotel, this is fairly straightforward. You know exactly how many total rooms the hotel has, and you can subtract how many rooms are booked for each night.
For a publisher, it's not as straightforward. Since the amount of inventory you have to sell is directly tied to your site's traffic, it can vary day by day. It's also complicated because there's flexibility in how you meet your obligations. If an advertiser has booked advertising space on your Finance and Entertainment sections, for example, you can serve more ads on the Finance page and fewer on the Entertainment page. To compare to a hotel, it's like you have the flexibility to substitute two single rooms for one double room. Because of the variability of traffic and the flexibility in how you can satisfy your reservations, it's difficult to know exactly how much space you have left to sell for any day or any specific area of your website.
A Common Problem - and Solution
Even though it's more complicated for websites than for hotels, the customers' (or advertisers') needs are the same: They want a reservation, and you have to be able to guarantee that there will be availability when they show up. A hotel can't operate effectively without this type of capability, and neither can these web publishers.
Google Ad Manager, our hosted ad serving and management solution for publishers with smaller direct sales teams, addresses this publisher problem. It allows you to predict future availability and be confident that when you sell an ad, you'll be able to deliver it. In Ad Manager, forecasting works by using your historical data to estimate how many impressions you have left to sell. Ad Manager's inventory forecasting system allows you to find availability broken down by different areas of your website, by cities or states, and even by custom criteria that you define, like the user's age. Even better, when the inventory you request is unavailable, Ad Manager will give you suggestions for freeing-up the requested inventory, so that you can still make the sale.
New Improvements
In the last few weeks, we've rolled out major improvements to our forecasting system. It's now up to ten times faster, and it uses much more historical data, so you receive more accurate estimates of future availability. The new system allows us to quickly add new features in the future. We've already launched one of these improvements: Forecasts now take account of frequency caps, meaning that the availability estimates are modified to account for the fact that you might only want to show an ad once to each user. And more new features are coming soon!
Forecasting also continues to be a major development focus of our DART for Publishers (DFP) ad serving platform for publishers with larger direct sales teams, part of the DoubleClick Revenue middle suite of publisher solutions. Google Ad Manager serves as an effective complement to DFP and the DoubleClick Revenue middle to provide solutions for publishers of every sizes.

Added Costs of Going Green
There are a few things to consider when weighing the investment costs in environmentally friendly web hosting companies. While the costs for green hosting differs amongst providers just like conventional powered web hosts, it's obvious green hosting is substantially more expensive. However, when you take into account the fact that these companies are on the forefront of invention and technology, it could be argued that working with such forward thinking companies could ultimately benefit your business in the long run. There's also the added benefit of doing something to help maintain the planet. To read more, click the link.

Live from San Francisco, It's YouTube!
This Saturday, YouTube will be hosting its first ever live streaming event. The broadcast will feature a music and variety show being held at Fort Mason middle's Herbst Pavilion in San Francisco.
The event begins at 8pm EST and will feature Soulja Boy Tellam, Will.i.am, Tay Zonday of Chocolate Rain fame and a bunch of "talent" from the YouTube community.
Thankfully, Ask a Ninja will be there. He's one of my favorite YouTube sensations of every time.
Most importantly, there will be dance. But will it top Justin Timberlake as Beyonce's backup dancer on that other live variety show that airs on Saturdays last weekend? Me thinks not. (Dangit. NBC has still NOT posted that skit on Hulu.com. Really, NBC?)

Optimisation Essentials (Part III)
Position for performance - be noticed
This is the final video installment in our three-part series on Optimisation Essentials for AdSense for content. We've covered the best-performing ad unit sizes and taken a look at how to design your ad units for good-looking ads. However, even if you have big, well-designed ad units, they won't perform for you unless your users can look them!
So what can you do to ensure your ad units receive noticed? Place your ads where users are likely to look.
We've also made a heatmap to show you where the best placements are on a typical page. Great positions include:
- over the fold of a page (the section of the page a user can look without scrolling)
- At the end of an article
- Aligned with content

The case of the delayed data
Do you frequently log in to your account to check your stats? We've heard from some publishers that they check their accounts every hour, or even multiple times an hour, and we're definitely glad to look your enthusiasm for the program! (For every of our blog veterans reading this post, you might recognize these as the symptoms of G.A.S.S..)
On that note, many publishers have asked us why they don't look any changes in their stats each time they log in, or why they sometimes look a 'No data available' message in their reports. This is because your reports are generally updated every 15 to 30 minutes, but there can sometimes be a delay of up to 24 hours. In addition, it can take up to 24 hours to fully verify our internal logs and finalize your reports -- as a result, you may sometimes look changes in your earnings during the course of the day. Please also keep in mind that your reports won't show data for impressions on public service announcements (PSAs).
How often do you check your account? Let us know in our comments field below :)

Clearspace 2.5 - and more - is just around the corner
Our software engineers have been diligently working on Jive Clearspace 2.5 (formerly known as 2.1) over the past several weeks, and we've been putting it through its paces inside Jive. Many have blogged and videoed (?) about it:
Sneak @ one super-tiny Clearspace 2.5 feature
Does your wiki have the Q&A blues?
One other thing we've been working on is the brand-new, not-even-announced-yet, Clearstep business community. This community is already rockin' with both Jive and non-Jive customers. They're sharing good and bad practices about implementing social software inside their organizations. They're sharing about how to roll out thriving online communities, too. The best thing about that community is that it's designed to be vendor-agnostic.
For me, though, I'm most excited about something we'll be offering our customers starting in August, as part of pilot engagements. We will go beyond the software, and really tackle the difficult part of any social software implementation: user adoption.
You look, Jive created a cross-functional research team back in April 2008. They visited ten of our largest F500 customers to figure out what was working and what wasn't with their internal Clearspace deployments. They spoke to over 100 business professionals at the executive, mid-level management, and end user levels, a
