Adsense Guide: Managing Your Ads

_______________

The Manage Ads feature allows you to easily change the appearance and settings of ads on your pages from within your account. Unlike in the past, you won't have to recopy and paste the ad code on your website to change your ads; now, you can update the settings within your AdSense account to see the changes live on your site in minutes.

Note: Ad management is only available for ad units created or transitioned after November 2007. To learn how to transition your ad units to the new ad code, review our overview for existing publishers.

For this guide, we'll be working with the example ad unit in the blog below, created using the new Manage Ads feature. This ad unit was named 300x250 Homepage to describe its size and location.

By selecting Manage Ads page, under the AdSense Setup tab, you'll see a list of the different ad units you've created. In this account, two types of ad units were created. To change the ad on our blog, we simply select Edit settings for the 300x250 Homepage ad unit.

3. On the next screen, we can now edit the settings for the ad unit 300x250 Homepage. In this example, we'll change the colors for the ad unit by selecting the Blue Mix color palette. Make sure you select save settings to finalize any changes you've made.

4. Once you've saved your changes, it takes a few moments for our servers to be notified about the updates, so it may be about ten minutes before you see the changes reflected on your pages.
