Google AdSense introduced a Validation Period for their Non Google Referral Ads. According to Inside AdSense for some publishers the earnings from Non-Google Referral products may now be less than the maximum displayed value for that product.

It’s because Google holds the earnings for some time to check the validity of the conversions. Once that validation period is over publishers will receive the maximum value itself.

Google says "We can’t say precisely how long the validation period will last, but will make every effort to ensure that it’s as speedy as possible. It will vary by publisher since site activity is different for everyone, and we anticipate that the majority of you will be minimally affected. However, advertisers will only be charged the maximum referral value once a publisher has completed the validation period."

Yahoo! Search Marketing now gives you more control of your account, by letting you specify websites in Yahoo’s partner distribution network on which you don’t want your ads to appear.

As you know, with Sponsored Search, your ads can appear in search results on Yahoo! and throughout our partner distribution network which includes Yahoo Publisher Network Sites. Similarly, if you opt in to Content Match, your ads can appear both on Yahoo! and our partners’ sites. With the new blocked domains feature, available today in your account, you can now specify websites in Yahoo! Network where you don’t want your ads to appear.

Blocked domains is just one part of Yahoo!’s work to improve the value of the traffic that they deliver to you. Well, as of now you can block your ads from only up to 250 Websites. I hope they increase that limit in the near term as it’s not enough.

Using Blocked Domains Is Easy:

1. Log into your account
2. Click on the “Administration” tab
3. In the Account General Information box, next to the “Blocked Domains” heading, click on “Submit Domains”

What You Need To Know…

1. Block your ads from up to 250 web sites
2. Works with Sponsored Search and Content Match
3. Block sites on your entire account
4. Complements pricing discounts
5. You cannot block any Yahoo! domains
