AdSense Almost Gives Everyone “Allowed Sites” Feature
Google briefly rolled out the Allowed Sites feature for all AdSense users this weeks, then took it back. The feature is a wonderful one, one that lets you list all the sites you are running AdSense ads on and thus prevent any other sites for damaging your account. Sometimes, a competitor or other evil party will run your ads somewhere that can hurt you, perhaps in a way that violates the Terms of Service or commits massive click fraud, and this feature acts as protection.
Earlier this week the feature appeared in all AdSense publisher dashboards, then a day or so later it went away. A Google representative explained that they had to roll back the feature, but it should be available to all account soon.
Why does the world continue to ignore the missteps that Google makes?
I don’t know if I’d go that far, but they do have to stop all the conflicting signals. I have the feature in my account, but that’s probably a Premium AdSense thing, and for all I know, it was there last week, too. Let me know if you start seeing it in your accounts.
I’m still not sure what this “allowed user” feature offers. I’ve found just about everything at www.monetizationweekly.com including yutube adsense videos, but nothing about this new feature. Mind explaining exactly what it offers?
