Adsense Official--Coming soon: Make ad changes without replacing code

by Inside AdSense Team
We're very excited to let you know about an upcoming feature that lets you easily manage your ad units from within your AdSense account. It isn't live yet, but here's a sneak peek so you'll know what to expect in the coming weeks. (We know many of you have been eagerly anticipating its arrival.)

This new ad management feature means that your ad unit settings (such as colors and channels) for new AdSense for content ad units will be saved in your AdSense account every time you generate ad code. Then, if you'd like to change any of these settings in the future, all you do is make the update within your account -- you'll no longer need to manually replace the ad code on all of your pages. For instance, you can quickly change the borders of all your 300x250 medium rectangles from red to blue with just a few mouse clicks. Fancy! We hope that this new feature will help you save time and will simplify the process of optimizing your ad units.

As we noted above, please keep in mind that the ad management feature isn't yet available in any publisher accounts. We'll be rolling it out in phases in the next few weeks, and we'll follow up with another post at that time to help you better understand how to use the feature. When you see the "Manage Ads" page appear under your AdSense Setup tab, you'll know the feature is available for you to use. Here's what it will look like:




Stay tuned to read more about this new feature!

lovely...will save a lot of time for the publishers. .

 

That should make a publisher's life easier

Do you know whether it's all campaign or you can adjust by channel?

 

So does this mean that manual editing is over?

It appeas to be implying that.

If that's the case, that create a very secure Google Adsense code.

 

I am desperately in need of this feature. It is a headache to configure every time I want to get a new adsense unit.

 

Wow, this will save me a lot of time and headache.

 

It only saves me a little bit of time since I use a PHP include.

 

That will be great for publishers. I welcome the change.

 

I wonder if that change is contributing to the adsense channel problem?

 

What do you mean? I am using channel but do not see any problem.

 

Very useful feature for publishers. Adsense rocks

 

I've been always wondering why this hadn't been installed earlier. BidVertiser has it (tough not perfect). I am testing my codes' layouts often, and it's really annoying that you have to (had to) replace the code every time again... Yet even more, you are not allowed to change the code itself manually. Good news definitely!

 

A great time saving feature.

 

Nice feature.

 

I just wonder about all the units we currently have... It will take me ages to update all my sites currently running adsense...

 

nice this is something i was looking for. It will surely save lot of time and editing work.

 

agree.
it would take long time to update current codes.

 

Excellent update, looking forward to it.

 

I think thats an useful feature to save a lot of time

 

Will we have to replace our current adsense codes on all our websites with this 'new code' for it to work? I have thousands of ad units on websites that aren't done in php includes. It would take me a year to replace them all.
