As mentioned last week, I'll start to collect your feature requests on a weekly basis, and communicate them to the relevant teams.
I look forward to hearing your ideas,

More channels is a surge in resource usage at the Goog data centers
Not if they actually did something about MFA sites etc clogging up the network.
And to be honest, it won't use that much resource compaired to other things google throws at us.
Makes filtering a lot easier too.
and why?
dont be naive. GOOG will never share any reasons with publishers. GOOG is your piiiimp! and you have no choice but leave if you cant take the abuse.
GOOG will place whatever ads at whatever price on your website and will pay you whatever commission they want.
I love GOOG search, iGoogle, Analytics, Docs, Gmail etc (even Picasa is cool) but AdSense is a big scam on small publishers.
2) Earnings calculated in Euros and not in dollars. (At a daily base, instead of dollars being converted to Euros when sending a cheque)
3) See those checks (if any) which haven't yet been cashed in.

The "hide and un-hide" deal doesn't really do much to keep things organized as far as being able to remember which ad formats don't work for me. If Google is afraid to give us the power to delete them, we should at least be able to send them to a nuke pile of some sort if we've tested and determined that the format was wrong etc. Those ads just hang there hidden forever.
Please provide an option to block ads that point to PARKED PAGES.
With all that talk about increasing quality, how can Google possibly allow this crap to show up? In the roughly two-and-a-half years I have been monitoring this, I have seen no progress at all. Every now and then I check my sites using the (crappy) preview tool, and I still find (new?) domainers trying to get rich quick, trying to lure visitors away with promising ad copy that just points to parked domains. They probably know how to cheat Adwords, too, and pay just pennies.
It happens, and until it happens to you, you don't believe it
It's to easy to generate invalid clicks on someone and have their adsense account banned by an algo.
There numerous reports of this yet it's still happening.
would like the tips on my overview page put on an on/off switch.
The only tips I have on there is from last summer, It gets really annoying.Been with you for years, not like I haven't already tried them.
I agree. It's very annoying. I'd like to be able to delete them once I've read them. Then I wouldn't have to scroll down to get my personalized stats.
Oh yeah, maybe there's a way to do this with Google Analytics that I missed, but is there any chance we can get a report that shows income per keyword that was used to land the visitor on our site?
I'd be happy if I could just see how many people left the page by an ad when I'm using Google Analytics. I wouldn't feel so bad about bounces if I knew they found a related ad.
But the really big thing that I care about is that I'd like to keep my AdSense separate from my Google Account for security reasons.
By the way, I would be willing to include targeted ads if I could first review them. I don't mind when they are on my topic but I was getting stuff that was unrelated to my site.

The product manager who made this decision:
[google.com...]
send him to Microsoft instead. He should join that team that came up with the beloved Microsoft office assistant paper clip.
I forgot one.
The ability to block a company, regardless of TLD.
To block by the content of the landing page!
I have maybe 50 URLs from the same MLM in the filter.
All landing pages with the same yacht, villa and luxury car, people will have after 2 years of this MLM.
It is sad to see you guys make such good requests ... over and over again ... just to have it all fall on "deaf ears".
I have seen many suggestions realized.
I forgot one.
The ability to block a company, regardless of TLD.
To block by the content of the landing page!
If I want to block say, ebay, then I want to block ebay.com /ebay.co.uk / search.ebay.ca etc etc etc
I would also like to block .info sites too as they seem to be mainly MFA or sponsored link sites [not adsense]
And actually responding to and implementing some of the suggstions here would be a good start.
Get rid of the MFA and parked domains.
Other than that, I have nothing to complain about except that my AS income continues to decline, month after month.
Get rid of the MFA and parked domains.
That would help the most as more advertisers would be willing to advertise on content sites.
Then if you could get rid of the spammy and/or deceitful ads Google could make AdSense into a quality system. Has that been considered?
2. Enable customization of fonts on the ad units.
3. Ability to transfer AdSense earnings directly to an AdWords account, without the money having to be deposited in the bank account first and then sent back out again to the same company.
My channel use:
===============
Every major domain has as normal channels
domainname
domainname/.adlink for an AdLink in the navigation
domainname/.content for an ad block in the content
domainname/.bottom for an ad block belkow the content
domainname/.albo for an AdLink below the content
Some of my major domains are in 2 versions, English and German.
This uses nearly up the first half of all 200 allowed channels.
Up to 5 channels
================
I thought in the first, the up to 5 channels per ad could solve the problem. But it's far to time consuming to implement.
I planed a system like:
the old channel like mentioned above
The year in which the article is written
Source of the visitor
Up to 2 major themes in the article
But when I need to define 4 ads for one domain in one language, alone the year of the article would have increased this 10 times.
I see only one chance, some sort of log file about all the ads
Here are my AdSense feature requests (in order of importance) for the month beginning March 17th:
1) Option to select different username and password from all other Google online services (iGoogle, gmail, Orkut etc.)
2) Better reports (long-term trend charts are always insightful)
3) New Google Video units sized: 300x320 pixels
Thanks a million, see you next month.
If the 4 links that show on your site has long keywords everything runs together and looks like crap. I would like to see the ad drop down to 3 links if there isn't enough space in between keywords.
Example
Ads by Google: redwidget greenwidgetbluewidget redwidget
Would look better as
Ads by Google: redwidget bluewidget redwidget
Sometimes the keywords almost touch and it looks like jibberish.
As for mixing Adsense login with the other services, I actually think it's convenient, so for those that are against it, in the end, I hope Google gives an option here and don't simply revert back.
- I would like to be able to view earnings on a *monthly basis*.
- I would like to have *EPC* values displayed in earnings reports.
- I would like to see *graphs* of earnings/cpm/epc/etc over time.
It really doesn't make sense that we need to export our data to use with 3rd party tools to get the full picture on our AdSense earnings.
Thanks.
You'd be surprized, but at one point we kept your low ecpm ads on one of the channels instead of moving them over to RMX simply because we liked seeing page impressions numbers in Adsense for our own statistics.
