New Interface Wednesdays: Analyzing earnings by page views vs. ad requests

If you’ve spent time wandering around the Performance reports tab in the new interface, you've likely stumbled upon the Columns button. This button lets you customize your report to view earnings by page views, ad requests, matched requests and individual ad impressions. Selecting one of these options will change the columns and data shown in the table and graph. All other metrics, like CTR & RPM, will be based on the selection you choose.

They’ve received some questions about understanding these reports, especially when viewing by ‘page views’ and ‘ad requests’. To get an overall sense of your ad performance, view your earnings by ‘page views’. When looking at specific ad units or channels, however, they recommend using the ‘ad requests’ view. This will provide you the most accurate numbers for specific reports like ad units, ad sizes, custom channels, ad types, targeting types, and bid types.

Why is this? When analyzing the performance of individual ad units, the ‘page views’ view may show you inaccurate CTRs and RPMs if you have multiple ad units on one page. Each time a user views a page with multiple ad units, your reports will log only one page view and associate it with the first ad unit on the page. This means that when you’re viewing more granular reports by ‘page views’, the CTR and RPM of the second and third ad units on the page will be calculated based on “zero” page views, resulting in invalid data. By using the ‘ad request’ view when looking at specific ad units, you’ll ensure that you’re reviewing valid CTR and RPM values.

Try it now! Navigate to the new interface and click on the Performance reports tab, then select the ‘Columns’ button from any report to change the metrics you’re viewing.

Today marks the last post of our New Interface Wednesday series. They hope you're now more familiar with features available in the new interface, and how you can use them to better understand your ad performance and manage your account. You can review any of the previous posts in this series by visiting the New AdSense Interface label at any time, and learn more about specific features in our Help Center. As they continue to develop new features in the new interface, they'll be sure to post updates here on our blog, so please check back frequently!

New Adsense Interface Wednesdays: Multi-dimension Reporting

They've been listening to your feedback for more reporting and better insights into your data and are pleased to share a powerful new feature called multi-dimension reporting. You can now add dimensions to your performance reports to sort and view data across multiple dimensions including ad units, ad sizes, and countries.

This new feature allows you to add up to three dimensions to your reports, including viewing a channel by date or an ad unit by targeting type. To add a dimension when you create or edit a report, click ‘Add dimension’ and select a dimension. The dimension selected is added to the table, so you will now see two dimensions. To add another dimension click ‘Add dimension’ and select again. You can also change and remove a dimension by clicking the drop-down for the dimension you want to change or remove.

Try multi-dimension reporting now to interactively explore your data and gain more performance insights. And stay tuned for more dimension combinations coming soon as we continue to improve reporting regularly.

This reporting capability is just one of many improvements we’re making to the new AdSense interface as we gradually move away from the older version. Please feel free to provide your feedback in the comments field below so we can continue to tailor the new interface to your needs! If you haven’t yet tried the new interface, learn more about getting started today.

Western Union payment options spreading throughout sub-Saharan Africa

They’re working hard to give more of you more payment options. As part of their continued efforts to expand globally, they’re excited to announce the launch of Western Union Quick Cash® as an AdSense payment method to 11 additional countries in sub-saharan Africa: Reunion (FR), Tanzania, Madagascar, Seychelles, Cote d'Ivoire, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Zambia, Benin, Burkina Faso and Gambia.

For those of you who aren't familiar with this form of payment, Western Union Quick Cash payments are free and will reach you faster than checks. Payments follow our normal payment schedule and are available for pickup in your local currency at your local Western Union agent the day after they're issued.

A couple of things to note: They can send Western Union payments only to publishers that have an individual account at this time. Also, the payee name on your account must exactly match the government-issued ID card that you'll use when picking up your payments. For more information on how to sign up for and pick up Western Union payments, please visit their Help Center.

If you don’t yet have Western Union Quick Cash as a payment method in your country, they hear your feedback and appreciate your patience as they work to make this available.

New Interface Wednesdays: Search in Ad Review Center

They've heard that there are times when an ad appears on your site that you want to block from appearing again. How can you easily block a specific ad you've seen? If the ad is placement-targeted, you can now use the new AdSense interface to quickly search for and block that specific ad and future ad groups from a given advertiser.

To search for ads in the ad review center, first navigate to the Allow & block ads tab and click into one of the pages of the ad review center -- for example ‘Allowed’ -- for which you want to view ads. Look for the find ads box in the navigation sidebar. Here, you can search for ads based on text/url, ad type, and ad networks. For ads that are awaiting review, you can also search based on when the ads will be automatically allowed.

With recent updates we’ve made, you may also notice that when doing a keyword-based search, image ads in addition to text ads will be returned if the images contain text matching your search criteria.

Try it now! Navigate to the Allow & block ads tab and click into the Ad Review Center.
