Google AdSense Allows Feed Ad Review
The feature is called the Ad Review Center. Users can approve or disapprove of ads before they go into the feeds.
To do so, login to your AdSense account. Then look for the Ad Review Center in the 'Competitive Ad Filter' section under the 'AdSense Setup' tab. Choose the Client-ID starting with ca-feed-pub.
You'll have to put your ads on hold for 24 hours before you can filter through them. During that time, no ads will be served to your feeds, but afterwards you can go through the ad approval process.

Google AdSense Offers Expandable, Rich Media Ads
Google AdSense is introducing expandable ads to their ad offering. Expandable ads are ones that increase when an action is taken. With some networks, ads increase in size when a user mouses over or scrolls a page. But AdSense's expandable ads will increase only when clicked on.
The AdSense expandable ads will only increase up to double the width or height of the original display. Users can click to close the ad at any time. The ads can include rich media such as video and images.
Advertisers will pay based on a cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-impression (CPM) basis. CPC ads will only cost the advertiser when users click through to the landing page.

Creating Your Website for AdSense
The more content you have, the better chance you have getting accepted into the program. Also, the more content, the greater the earning potential. AdSense is nothing but a numbers game. If you want to make a lot of money, prepare to write a lot of content.
Now let's talk about building your website. There are two ways you can approach this:
1) Do it Yourself (DIY) from scratch
2) Use Site Build It! (SBI!)
What makes AdSense AdSense?
That question is very important to understand why AdSense will undoubtedly take damage in the financial crisis. AdSense is the leader in CPC advertising because they have a large pool of advertisers which allows them to show relevant Ads on the publishers’ websites. Because of the fact that they can show extremely related ads both the advertisers and publishers earn money. The advertisers have a higher ROI (return of investment) because they get a lot more conversions per click compared to other advertising programs. The consequence is that the advertisers are willing to pay more for every valid click they get and as a result the publishers earn more as well. Relevancy is the key of AdSense’s success it’s what makes AdSense different from other CPC networks. (Actually it’s no more a real CPC network it’s a CPA network. It’s an affiliate program because the ROI sets the price of the click.) If you generate less sales then your CPC will be adjusted by AdSense. A lot of sales can only be achieved by relevant advertisements.
http://www.google.com.eg/intl/ar/ads/Google AdSense joins Twitter
They only have 6 tweets so far, but hopefully they will become more active. I think the most valuable thing the AdSense twitter account could do is alert publishers when there are any issues - whether it is when stats are delayed or when access into the control panel is suffering from an unscheduled downtime. Right now, I am doing that for the many publishers who follow me ;)
They only have 105 followers so far, so if you are on Twitter, go and follow @adsense… and follow me @jenstar too :) @adsense only follows a couple of the official Google Twitter accounts though, so don’t be surprised if they aren’t following you back. They do request @replies though, but I wonder how long it will be before their @replies are saturated with “I got my account suspended and I didn’t do anything wrong!” type of tweets!
Payments due AdSense publishers from account hold bug delayed until March
However, please keep in mind that the payment hold issue that was occurring earlier was fixed after the 2/15 Feb payment cycle deadline. As a result, if you believe you were under this issue, you should be paid in the next cycle at the end of March.
Yes, so now Google’s bug means you have to wait until the end of March for those payments. Still no word on how many publishers are affected or if perhaps some of them made the February 15th cut off so they will get their payments at the end of February as the original post implied, but the new post by AdSensePro Jen seems to say that all affected publishers didn’t have their account’s fixed until after the payment cut off deadline.
If you were affected, you should be able to login to your AdSense account and check your payment history to see when the bug was fixed for your account, and if it looks like your payment from your December earnings made the end of February payment or not.
