Optimization report

Who else detests the report on our overview pages?

That is the most insidious little thing to have to put up with that I have ever seen...not to mention it's right there in your face while you wait for the slow thing to finish.

Mine is still showing the April report with NO way to turn it off! I have tried they're 'dismiss' but no matter, it doesn't work either...I want rid of the darn thing.

i hate that it's on the homepage, and moreover, in Firefox, the refresher icon keeps spinning without stopping = very annoying!

"Guess it was an attempt to get people to feel a touch of guilt (about not doing what they want). "

Ann, I fully agree with this. I keep on getting same report to empty my filter bag which I tried once but was of no use as my site begin to display MFAs again. Unfortunately, direct optimization mail tips also didn't work for me. Somehow I felt that they were changing the look of my site which I didn't want.

I will try to follow those instructions for one more time after June 1st and see if those reports disappeared from my panel.

I feel we should get the chance to put our opinion regarding those suggestions and the reasons for not implementing them. Why would we not implement if they generate revenue for us? There has to be some reason. Once we send our reasons, there has to be some button to delete those reports, as it doesn't work in a perticular case for some reason.

What I really fear is, the way these reports are generated mechanically, seems to be scary. Because there are some fix patterns of optimization seems to be in the air since long, like adding more ad blocks etc. If I follow the first report of emptying my filter bag, it will pop up the second of adding more ad blocks on my site and will keep on coming continuosly every month till I add more ad blocks and so on.....

I strongly feel that ground realities are different than the standard optomization rules and those changes from site to site and subject to subject.

I ran your feedback by our product specialists and they're taking it all into consideration for future changes. The tips can seem pretty generic at this point, but they actually are personalized based on a review of your settings. If you don't find the current tips helpful, know that the console is receiving a lot of attention and will continue to improve.

You might've noticed that you can hit "Dismiss this tip" next to specific tips to prevent them from showing in future reports. While this doesn't solve the frustration of having reports stay in your overview, it will stop the system from offering certain advice if you're tired of hearing it. Report archiving may be offered later.

Thanks for bearing with us as we develop this feature!

Hi ASA,

The very annoying thing about the (not really personal or targeted or at all useful or insightful) tip so high up in the summary is that it pushes all my report links below the fold, so I have to scroll for any of them.

If your UI specialists would like to pay for my scroll pad or sore thumb to be replaced, then I'll stop whining! B^>

Wow

Add more adblocks to my pages and clear my filter. That's right, take the fast lane to Publisher Armageddon.

Whoa, cosmic revelations in those gnarly tips! Dude, surf's up by the Plex, time to get off the ball and hang ten.

Yeah baby!

[ann]

Don't know about hanging ten but I know I am tired of these tired tips taking so much longer to load and slowing up my life.

Worst feature to come up with yet.

Ann

PS,

dismiss this tip doesn't work.

Sorry for forgetting...Thank you ASA for visiting this thread and hopefully the tips thing will now be removed? I did say hopefully! :)

Hey! The previous two months (April, May) reports, both of which I had 'dismissed' but both stubbornly refused to go away - they're gone now, and G didn't bother to send me a June report. Interesting...

[edit] Oops, they're back! Sigh...
