What happens when some site banned by Google copies your content, along with your Google Adsense codes and displays ads on their site. Google would not be too happy. Now you can identify the URLs that are allowed to display Google ads for your account.
Login to your Adsense account, go to Adsense Setup > Allowed Sites - and you can choose your whitelist sites and either allow all sites or list specific sites. Once you activate your listed sites, ads will still show on other sites, but impressions and clicks will not be recorded, nor will you earn any money for those clicks.
What was the need to create a Allowed Sites list?
“We’ve added the Allowed Sites feature because we’ve learned that some AdSense publishers are concerned about potentially malicious behavior from others on the web, such as stealing their ad code and placing it on an inappropriate site. By offering this feature, we allow AdSense publishers more control over which sites or URLs can have their AdSense code.”
It will take a few hours for the changes to take effect. Remember, you will not receive earnings if other sites list them, so be sure to keep your list up to date. Determine all your domains that host Adsense ads and list them. If you do not change any settings, by default, they allow any site to show ads for your account.
However, Amit is not setting Allowed sites, and explains some valid reasons for the same.
“A part of traffic coming to this site originates from Google/Yahoo cache (when the main site is inaccessible), online translation services like Babelfish (for non-English visitors) and from proxy servers (where the site may be banned). And some social sites / web directories display external content inside frames. With Adsense Whitelist in place, you miss an opportunity to monetize this indirect traffic.”
Of course if someone is misusing your Adsense publisher ID, then you have to enable the features. In normal circumstances, will you set Allowed sites for your Adsense account?
Google Adsense has built gadget ads to advertise the AdSense program. Gadget ads enable advertisers and agencies to engage audiences on the Internet’s largest ad network with a rich and interactive new ad format.
Here is what the new Google Gadget ads look like -
The Google gadget ad can be seen on the Adsense blog. You need to enable image ads on your Adsense account and be using the one of the image ad formats to get such a gadget ads to be featured on your site. The most popular sizes for gadget ads are the rectangle, leaderboard, and skyscraper formats.
Gadget ads can be priced on either a cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-thousand impressions basis (CPM). These gadgets are new and as the gadget ad inventory increases, you may see these ads begin to appear more on your site.
Personally I do not like these ads as they clutter up my web design. Enabling image ads will also allow Flash adsense ads as well as video adsense ads. Adsense says it is a good idea to enable image ads as they compete with text ads for the same ad space and can make you more
A new payment option is appearing on dashboards of Google Adsense publishers that will make transfer of money across the world even faster. Normally you get a mailed cheque or can opt for the faster Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), but the new Western Union Quick Cash lets you receive your AdSense payments in cash using the worldwide Western Union money transfer service.

Google likes to send Christmas gifts to top Google Adsense publishers. Google has previously sent out wireless mouse kits and last year it was a digital photo frame to its top adsense publishers . This year the holiday gift is 2GB USB Memory cards!
Google Christmas Gift for Adsense Publishers
SEO Roundtable points out that Google Holiday gifts 2007 have started arriving. This time it is a 2GB USB memory card with the Google logo, packed in a neat leather pouch embossed with the Google logo.
Google USB Memory Cards
Are you eligible for a Google Christmas Gift?
Its still a mystery how Google decides which Google adsense publishers get the coveted Google gift to show off. Undoubtedly they are their top publishers and it is a way to thank them for their support and advertising space.
What Adsense earnings should you generate to get a Google gift? Over the years, none of these top publishers or Google has been willing to share the secret cut off earning level. Maybe if you get the gift, you can pat yourself that Google has you listed in their gift list!
Remember earlier some top Google Adwords users got a Google mini fridge and Adsense MTV video ad testers got lava lamps too. Even Google Display Advertising Network members were gifted Google branded laptop bags. I wonder what Yahoo! has in mind to gift its publishers.
Update: John Chow also got it and has a nice video of the unboxing.

If you are an Indian blogger trying to promote Google Adsense and hope to make some extra money via referrals, its sad news that Adsense is stopping Adsense referrals outside of North America, Latin America, and Japan! And the referral rate has also dropped to $100!
Reduced referral income
Previously they had modified the Adsense referrals terms and made the referral program very lucrative to publishers.
* Refer someone to AdSense who makes $5 within 180 days - earn $5.
* Refer someone to AdSense who makes $100 within 180 days - earn $250
* Refer 25 people who make $100 within a 180 day period - bonus $2000
As per the new scheme, Any referred user who earns $100 within 180 days of signing up after the change occurs will only generate $100 in earnings for the referring publisher. I remember my first $250 via the referral and it was a huge incentive to keep promoting Adsense. Now many publishers will be demotivated.
Only for North America, Latin America, and Japan
For us even the referral income drop is of no issue, as we will not be able to promote Adsense any longer. For publishers outside North America, Latin America, and Japan, they will end the Adsense referral program by January end. Soon the option to create a referral button for AdSense will disappear and its time to start replacing any existing referrals promoting AdSense with referrals other products
Remember you can still generate referrals for the other products listed under the ‘Referrals’ section of your AdSense Setup tab like the Google Pack, Firefox etc.

I often have Google Adsense login errors when I try to login to my Adsense account. Despite being sure that the username (email) and password are correct, I am unable to login several times. Google has now clarified why it occurs…
“Welcome! You’re signed in to Google Accounts under the email [your email address] and your Google Account password, but this is not a valid AdSense login.” - This is the message you usually get even when you login with the correct email and Adsense password, and you wonder if your account got hacked or something.
Thankfully Adsense clarifies why this error occurs.
If you’re seeing this error message, this means your AdSense account shares the same login and password as a Google Account, but the two accounts are not linked. As a result, when you try logging in at www.google.com/adsense, our system will only grant you access to your Google Account — not your AdSense account. To resolve this issue, you’ll need to maintain two separate passwords.
Then they suggest the solution too. Log out of Google Accounts like Gmail or AdWords. Request a new AdSense password with your login email address. They send a reset link to that email and you choose a new unique password and login back into Adsense account with a new password. Thats all.
You will now have to maintain 2 passwords, till they migrate all AdSense accounts over to Google Accounts! I am sure lots of Adsense publishers like me must be having these errors, so its great they identified the issue and clarified it.
