Google Rolls Out New Interface For AdSense

If you use Google AdWords and Analytics as well as AdSense, the changes coming to the publisher interface over the next few days will look very familiar. As part of its “simpler and more beautiful” initiative, Google is rolling out a new look for AdSense.

Though Google says the general structure of the account interface will remain the same, the company will be gradually adding cleaner design elements.

One of the changes will be a dedicated, larger “Help” link in the top right corner of the page. There’s also a “send feedback” link added there — but it’s meant for reporting bugs or making interface suggestions, rather than asking for specific account help. Account support will still be located in the help center.

The “Performance reports” tab will show reports organized by type. Standard reports will be found in “Common reports” and there will be a new date range selector.

Hat tip to Michel Wester of Websonic.nl for bringing our attention to this development.
