Introducing the revamped Google Publisher Toolbar

Over 234,000 of you have installed the Google Publisher Toolbar since it launched early last year. The Toolbar is a Chrome extension that gives you up-to-date information on your AdSense account such as earnings and performance and access to ad overlays that offer reporting and blocking controls directly on your site.

We’ve spent a lot of time looking at ways to further enhance this tool to give you richer functionality and more control over the ads displayed on your site. Today, with your feedback, we’re happy to share the revamped Google Publisher Toolbar.

The Google Publisher Toolbar will continue to include the same popular functionality as before in addition to a new feedback mechanism and blocking capabilities.

The new user interface makes detailed and up-to-date information on your account instantly accessible and includes the following features:

• Pop-up account overview: Giving you quick access to your estimated account earnings summary for today, yesterday, this month and last month as well as information on your top 5 channels or sites by revenue over a variety of date ranges.
• Ad Details: Giving you detailed information and full insight into a specific impression including buyer and advertiser details, the creative associated with the current view and now includes the ability to block the ad by buyer.
• Feedback box: You can now share your feedback directly with Google through our new feedback box embedded in the user interface.

As always, please be assured that clicking the ad overlays generated by the toolbar is permitted, and won’t generate any invalid clicks. If you haven’t already installed the Toolbar, you can download it from the Chrome Web Store. If you’re already using the Toolbar, no action is needed on your part as it’ll automatically update with the revamped version. Tell us what you think of the revamped Toolbar on our AdSense +page.
