More colors in the color palette

Having a built-in report by domain (as in they tell me where the clicks are happening, rather than me supplying them)

A list of the advertisers on my site - even js tracking only tells me the ones that are clicked on (as an Australian webmaster, I adore the expensive ads I get from Britain when someone there finds their way to my site by mistake!). Theres no way to know what ads are wasting space in my adblocks and never being clicked.
Now, you may say 'there are so many possible advertisers in a contextual system, its not possible to give a list', but it is:
Firstly, give me a list of advertisers in the last X days, with numbers of displays would be even better
Secondly, a list of 'advertisers most likely' to apppear on my site. I see the clicks from the same advertisers all the time. It sobvious who would be on the list. But who is on the borderline that Ip;m not aware of? Who has just started advertising?

Oh, and increase the usability of the reports page dramatically by having the results apppear *before* the selector section, or *at least* make the results page load jump to the results, for heavens sake.
Thats just basic usability - I didn't load the page to make a change, I loaded it to view the results!

(Do I sound aggravated? ;))

We can configure our Report Manager to receive our AdSense stats by email

Thanks Juan, I did not know that!

We can have any color that we want as text, background, URL. I never had a problem in it. As long as we do not change the code Generated by AS, we are not violating the TOS.

There are only 5 x 12 = 60 clors in the color palette.

All the hexadecimal colors are available. There are 16.7 million different colors in the hexadecimal color system.

PowerUp:
Type the hex code you want directly in the field instead of clicking on the palette.
Et Voila! :)

To find out the hexadecimal code for a color you want use Photoshop or another program's color chooser. If you have a Mac your computer ships with DigitalColor Meter allowing you to choose any color you see on screen very easily with a dropper and get its hex value.

I'd like the ability to save a Custom Report with the results listed by Page eCPM or Page CTR instead of only being listed in alphabetical order. Whenever I open a Custom Report showing all channels for a particular day, the first thing I do is view it again by Page eCPM.

It's already been mentioned here, but we really need keyword filtering to allow us to prevent certain words from showing up in our ads, such as "find", "ringtones", and "quotes".

It would be great to be able to see where our ads point without having to use the Preview tool that only works with Internet Explorer. Firefox works so much better. Right-clicking on a bookmarked ad and viewing its URL works, but it's too time-consuming.

- add domain name to stats. the same way channels are dispalyed.
- add approved domains list.
- add an option where I can choose to display PSA in case domain name is not in my approved domains list.
This is to avoid fraud attempts.
this way I can also suspend one of my domains for smart pricing reasons.

'Approving' what domains could show ads with your publisher code would also mean that if you went on hols and were worried about not spotting a click attack while away it would be simple to put the ads on hold for a bit - empty the 'approved domains' list

First, I want to pay Google a non-refundable account setup fee per domain, something around the $100US level. That way I cannot decide that 1000 spammy sites making $1 a month = $12,000 as it will cost me $100,000 in setup fees.

Clicks on the Search Box LOGO also credited if they lead to ad-clicks.

I also want to have to list or pre-approve domains my ads will be shown on. Or at least have the option to limit them to certain domains.

Preview tool for Mac, seconded!

Ability to block ads by domain, rather than by account.

Ability to only display Adsense code on sites pre-authorised to display it. This one comes up so often, surely it'd save Google time and effort in the long run if they did this by default.

A mechanism, probably on the control panel, to specify a url to expedite the return of the adsense bot to that page.

This would really be helpful in those cases when a page gets off target and it takes weeks to get its ads corrected even though you fix the page right away.

Way to not only exclude your IP address from your page impression results, but a way to block your IP address from ever counting a clicked link (if you or your wife or kids click on your own ads by accident).

That would help me sleep better at night.

Font styling is a MUST.

I'd like the ability to be able to pay for AdWords out of my AdSense money. Currently the AdSense money goes into my bank account, and then back out to AdWords. It'd be better to bypass the bank and for Google to do it all themselves.

Pixel sizing of ad blocks instead of fixed widths and heights.

Daily summary emails so that I don't have to keep logging in to AdSense every day.

The ability to know when the latest report was updated, to the minute.

Tool to use the adsense income to adwords account. Instead of creating new adwords account. So that we can use some money to our own advertisements...

it's prob been said, but my two SERPs:

1) tie Adsense monies to Adwords account
2) better way to get more CPM ads

Here's a web page I got from Adsense Support for suggesting new features. You're encouraged to inform them of your most important features here.

From:
[webmasterworld.com...]

"I emailed into Adsense support a week or so ago about being able to incorporate a feature with Adsense and Google Calendar. What I want to do is be able to attach notes to changes I make with Adsense:
6/18/2006 - Added in Adlinks to the left side of the website
6/14/2006 - Switched from 468x60 to the Leaderboard on the top of every page
6/10/2006 - Changed the BGColor of the homepage ad unit from #CCCCCC to #FFFFFF

Right now I am just using Outlook/Excel to track it all, but it would be great to be able to track it within Adsense itself so it is always available. Plus, for those who aren't currently tracking changes, it would be a great way for them to start, as that type of info is invaluable to fine tuning.

I figure if other people think it's a good way to track that maybe it will happen.

Thoughts or suggestions as to what you use to track changes?

For non-US advertisers...a secure offshore deposit account complete with Google debit card.

If they need advice on how to do this...ask me G!

Gbank was taken years ago however G does have the cash.

I don't know where I saw this but someone else said it.

200 Competitive Filter

200 Spam Filter (results would be cumed by Google system wide and highest tallying entries would get manual reviews)

About the Google search box:

1- rewrite the code so its HTML 4.0 or XTHML compliant. I hate it when my pages don't validate ;) Or maybe use javascript like Adsense.

2- transparent background please... black, gray or white don't always look nice... I know there's an issue with making the logo with transparent edges that would blend with any background color though. Well, maybe Explorer 7.0 will support PNG? PNG in thousands of color mode supports alpha channels for transparency.

More reports - since its difficult to get a report through GET parameters now, I'm reliant on the builtin adsense bookmarks rather than my own - more reports, to save me time, please!
