I was waiting for this maintainance with bated breath.
;-)
Adsense for RSS feeds?
Publisher choice between pictures/text ads/video?
More tips on ad size/placement etc?
They've already tweaked the Ads by Google bit - has anyone seen better results as a result? I notice Jenstar (used to be a moderator of this forum)/Jensense has reported that Adsense publishers get on average 78.5% of what Google gets for the ads. Google's 22.5% share must add up to a fair few $$$ though even after expenses (eg serving the ads, running Adwords, email support, tax etc).
The Google AdSense website is temporarily unavailable. Please try back later.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

Love it :)

What?! It is the other way around. We get 20% they keep 80%.
I don't get that picture. I think this is something more serious.

I don't see anything new...
maybe the maintence is to counter any loopholes mentioned in the Channel Consolidation thread ;-)
I hope not. I just spent 2 hours working on that project today.

She was referring to a New York Times article with an interview with Shawn Hogan of Digital Point. As the split has been previously discussed here too I'd like to point out that:-
a) high volume publishers (eg millions pageviews/month) from what I remember negotiate their own split
b) it's an average, although even the small publishers are getting 70%-80% (although no more than 100%) of the revenue Google gets
I have visited dozens of sites that contain Adsense code this evening and none of those sites will load.
As soon as they hit the Adsense Code the site chokes until the request times out.

If you want to hear a real world example then start listening at minute 18 then listen for 10 minutes.
It may not be the deal you get, but it seems to be a better source than the hearsay bantered about around here.

I too have noticed that if you add javascript it can slow down the loading of the page, but it's pretty unnoticeable on broadband unless the rest of your page's code/graphics is >40kb.
Kathesue - I was actually hoping todays maintenance was to fix the loading issue I have been experiencing that for several days on my own sites and on lots of others I have visited running adsense.
I am a bit out of active coding, but can that problem not be resolved by clearer HTML code? For example if you tell the browser how big a table is it will prerender instead of waiting for the adsense java script to load. I experience a delay in adsense code too, but the way the page is written it doesn't compromise content while waiting for external scripts.
Example:
<table> browser needs to figure out how big the content will be waiting for the content to load.
<table width="800"> browser is told how big it is.
<img scr="bla"> browser needs image to see the size
<img src="bla" width="800" height="800"> browser knows how big it's gonna be.
If a page stops loading cause it's waiting for external code, that should be correctable imo.
I don't know your code so these are just examples.
b) it's an average, although even the small publishers are getting 70%-80% (although no more than 100%) of the revenue Google gets
Are you sure about this? Why?
This has been discussed before here, and I presented a number of scenarios where small publishers indeed get way below the communicated "official" average of 75% (or whatever). Please have a look at message # 3249923 at WW.
