Google announced updates to Adsense Auto ads designed to make them easier to implement and customize. AdSense publishers will be notified via email when the updates, which will be rolling out over the next several weeks, are live in accounts.

Code is not needed to turn on Auto ads in any AdSense account. Auto ads, introduced last year, use machine learning to determine where and when to place ads on publishers’ pages. Originally, to use Auto ads, publishers had to place a code on their sites(properties). Now, Auto ads will work via any AdSense ad unit code, so any AdSense publishers can now turn on Auto ads in their accounts without having to add any code to their sites again. You can see your Auto ads settings in the new Ads > Overview page in AdSense home page.

More controls and reporting. To turn Auto ads off on specific pages or sections of your site, you can now add the URLs to the Page Exclusions list.

Google has also added a preview tool to see how the Auto ads will look before going live. Inside the preview, you’ll be able to delete specific ad placements. Auto ads will then automatically create a new placement somewhere else on the page for you to review.

An ad load slider allows you to control the number of Auto ads to show on your pages, and you can specify the types of ad formats that can get placed by Auto ads, including Matched contents.

The reporting dashboard will now show manual ad and Auto ads performance comparisons.

Google also teased a new experiment type for Auto ads that it’s working on to see how Auto ads will look on your site and try them on a segment of your traffic.

Why we should care. Google is building on its machine learning capabilities for ad placement optimization. While keeping user experience in mind, the combination of Auto ads and manual controls should result in more revenue for publishers. With the new side-by-side reporting on manual and Auto ads, publishers will be able to see if these new tools deliver on that goal. What do you think about this new feature on AdSense program?

The Top 5 Highest Paid Executives in Telecom 2020.

John J. Legere, T-Mobile

At the top of the list is John J. Legere, CEO of T-Mobile (TMUS). His total compensation package for 2018 was worth $66.5 million. This breaks down to a base salary of $1.9 million and $64.7 million in stock awards. This is a dramatic increase from his total compensation in 2017, which was $23.7 million.

Legere joined T-Mobile as CEO in September 2012. His claim to fame came from reinventing himself to connect with the hot millennial market and for taking the bold approach of no contracts for wireless customers. Both strategies worked well and Legere took T-Mobile from a flailing company to a powerhouse in the telecom sector.

Known for his eccentric personality and colorful wardrobe, he implemented many creative plans during his tenure, such as large discounts for first responders. In one of the biggest moves in Telecom news, T-Mobile will be merging with one of its competitors, Sprint. And with that final chess piece in place, Legere will be stepping down as CEO in 2020.
