It seems archaic to me that publishers have to actually remove, or comment out, the AdSense code from every page if we want to just pause AdSense for say a period of time. Sure, more sophisticated publishers probably have the code as an include so it just needs to removed in a few places, but doesn't it seem very antiquated the way AdSense is set up? On Adwords, it's one click to pause campaigns, ad groups, keywords.
