Overcome user ad-blindness with better ad placements
A general principle for ad placements says that you should place your ad units high up on the page so your users will see them easily. However, ad units placed at the absolute top of the page (before any content) tend to suffer from user ad-blindness and on average show a 61% lower CTR than ads below the header and closer to the content.
If you have an ad unit at the very top of the page, you should test whether moving the ad unit closer to the rest of your content, yet still above the fold, improves the ad performance.
If you’re experimenting with placing an ad below the header, you can use this handy tool to check whether your ads are still appearing above the fold.

Save time with the Google Publisher Toolbar
The Google Publisher Toolbar is a new Chrome extension that allows you to view your performance data, drill down into ad unit statistics, and block ads by creative or URL - all while viewing your site in Chrome. Once you've installed the toolbar, you'll be able to see a snapshot of your account performance via a widget in the corner of your browser window. You can also enable ad overlays directly on your page to block ads or to view more information about specific ad units. To get started with the Publisher Toolbar, just follow the instructions in our Help Center.
Check what's trending in the online display ads business
One of the ways we support our publishers is by giving access to new sources of knowledge that enables them to make the most from display advertising. We therefore recently introduced the "Display Business Trends: Publisher Edition" which shows you the top site verticals in the AdSense network in terms of monetized impressions and allows you to compare CPMs across ad sizes, countries, and verticals.
Manage access to your AdSense account for multiple users
In response to the most highly-requested feature that we've heard publishers ask for, it's now possible to invite new users to access an AdSense account. With this new feature, you'll be able to give colleagues or partners access to your account, but with certain restrictions around the information that they can see and edit. For more information about getting started, visit our Help Center.
