New AdSense performance reports deliver quick and easy insights

Your performance reports are the key to gaining insights into how much you're earning and what impacts those earnings. To give you quick and easy access to these reports, we�ve introduced a new design for AdSense reporting with a new dashboard.

With the redesigned Performance tab, you now have more control and flexibility, allowing you to better understand your AdSense earnings and performance. Some of the highlights of the new performance reports include:

• Easier analysis: Get deeper insights by adding, changing or removing dimensions with the simple, redesigned dimension selector.

• Simple metrics: Better understand your earnings with the redesigned metric families. We've designed metric families to group related reporting metrics and separate the different ways you make money from ads. For instance, the Clicks metric family includes metrics that relate to the CPC bid type.

• Flexible reporting: Configure your filters the way you want. You can now apply multiple filters to your reports with the redesigned multiple filtering. For instance, you can now filter your Ad sizes report by both the country and platform dimension.

To give you a centralized view of your account�s performance, we�ve also built a new reporting dashboard. With the new reporting dashboard, you can:

• Access your top performance metrics: Switch easily between three key performance metrics: Estimated earnings, pageviews, and page RPM.

• Understand what�s driving your key metrics: Analyze your top performance metrics by five different dimensions: Time, top platforms, top countries, top channels, and top sites.

• Perform detailed analysis: View more detail for any report in the dashboard by clicking on �View report.�

Creating new ad units just got easier

Creating new ad units for your site can take time, especially when deciding on their look and style. Save time on this process with the new, simplified My ads tab in your AdSense account. From today, it�s quicker and easier to create new ad units, giving you more time to concentrate on optimizing your ad space.

In addition to simplifying the ad unit creation process, we�ve also refreshed the user interface for this page, making it more intuitive and easier to navigate. When choosing from the various options for your new ad units, we�ll help you in your final decision by highlighting the potential impact of your choices. Once you�ve decided on the best ad style, you can quickly implement this across your entire site rather than having to apply changes on an ad unit level.

Finally, to help enhance the look of ads on your site, we�ve made some changes to the default color palette for our text ads. The URL link will now display in a light gray replacing the green color previously associated with it.

It's important to note that these new features will not cause any changes to the way your existing ads appear on your site. For more information on the ad unit creation process, visit our Help Center. We hope the new My ads page will help make the ad unit creation process a quicker and more impactful experience for you. Share your feedback and suggestions over on our Google+ page.
