    All of us have wishes, and wishes are ment to be true!

    So, what would be your "one" or "the" feature request for Google AdSense Program ?

    If given "One" chance, what feature would you want in the AdSense program?

    My wish would be a feature to block ads based on keywords. (say limited keywords).

    Whats your wish?

    selecting keywords will mean people running after keywords and adsense is meant to select keywords on its own. so that might turn out to be a trouble if they allow it

    my wish... I wish they would tell me how much each ad showing on my site was paying.

    The preview tool is okay, but it doesn't tell me the value of each of the ads.

    Like the bid tool in overture... except Google! :)

    I wish they identify invalid clicks so we can protect ourselves and our accounts!

    Yahoo's program allows you to specify an ad category, which is pretty close to actually specifying keywords.

    I wish G would let us do more customization with the search box...

    That would be really good. And, i think google can do it easily with ajax, with some transition effect!

    I wish that there was some way to perform some type of "blood ritual" (cut finger, mix blood) to ensure that I will not be kicked out on some misguided and incorrect elimination for invalid clicks.

    The biggest thing with Adsense now, is that fear. I read the stories, and sometimes it just takes the wind right out of my sails. I would be inclined to work harder if that fear did not exist.

    There is NEVER any action that I would take against the TOS. It would simply be utterly stupid.

    When disabled, explanations are not forthcoming. You can be thrown out, and not even know why. I find this very disturbing.

    I would like for there to be some kind of action that I can take to PREVENT this from ever happening, to GUARANTEE a timely review of any such disabling.

    Hey I had a thought on this - it happened when I was messing around with a design and accidentally had my CSS positioning wrong. I have a banner of 4 ads - the ever-popular 728x90 leaderboard. Bu I have my body of the page as a DIV, positioned just over the leaderboard enough to cover up the "Ads by Google". I'm looking through the TOS now to see if this is in any way illegal - thoughts are appreciated. I'm not interested in trying to scam or cheat - just thought it an interesting idea.

    It's in direct violation of the AdSense program policies:

    Change your layout back to uncover the full ad box.

    Even if we can't remove the "Ads by google", it would be nice to be able to change it to "Sponsored Listings" or something less in your face "This is an ad so don't click me" kind of thing.

    Here's a site that does the top portion pretty clever like -- with the images there and the tips above, it's hard to tell they're Google ads.

    Dunno - I don't want to disobey Google, they give me money. :)

    But I think this site is laid out pretty good, from an Adwords standpoint.
