Is California still on a long weekend? :-)
ASA what's the problem?
I wonder if they have had a problem with scrapers or other nefarious sorts using it to find the pages that will generate the highest clicks.
Seems odd that a tool like this would be broken for so long if there wasn't something else involved.
I turned a couple of ads off just before it went south, bit the dust, whatever, and my income-everything took a small dip but went up again. Now the clicks are a lot less but price per click is up and earnings are up consistently.
I turned off an irrelevant ad that was riding under cover using an ad that appeared to match my content but when clicked it was a jewelry site. The other was a scraper/scammer that was selling watches. A long list of the same great bargains (insert watch name) bargain starting at 99.00. a Loooong list (sort of put you in mind of the guy on a corner, "wanna buy a watch" and pulling up his sleeve to show an armful of watches going up to his elbow. LOL!
Come on Google, Give us the preview tool back!

I was finding advertisers whose content, if they had any content at all, was one or two sentences max and a page full of adsense adblocks. They weren't trying to sell anything - just out to get clicks.
Sick.
1) Print on demand companies
2) Ads with bad grammar
3) Ads which promote a single item (such as an author's poorly designed site out to sell their first book)
Regardless, it's very rare that the targeting is completely off, and I have yet to see an ad which is to a site which should be banned.
At this rate it must be a team of technically trained snails on the project.

Must be a big problem.
Come AS - let's get this back up and working.
I really miss it.
If there has been some big problem that you can't address at least let us know.

Someone found the strcpy( s, t ); that should've been strncpy( s, t, 512 ); that was causing the buffer overflow.
My CTR has been WAAAAAY (about 30%) down since exactly the time the toolbar has been "broken", but other things were going on that could have affected my CTR -- but maybe not... it seems to be doing well again.
Time will tell.
Cool.

The preview tool doesn't only work, it's also psychic now!
