  • AdSense In Your City: New North American Tour Dates Announced

    Google announced some new dates for AdSense in Your City across North America. For those unfamiliar with the events, they are a series in which publishers can meet with members of Google’s Inside AdSense team and AdSense experts to learn new tips, best practices, and info about new products.

    Google’s been doing it for a couple years now. Last month, the company announced the international expansion of the series.

    “Each AdSense in Your City event includes presentations on optimization tips, DoubleClick for Publishers Small Business, and our mobile offering,” says Google’s Courtney Yamada. “Publishers who attend also receive a one-on-one consultation with a member of the AdSense team to review their site and offer customized recommendations. The events also provide a great opportunity for our attendees to meet and network with other AdSense publishers.”

    The schedule for North America is as follows:

    Sacramento, CA: Tuesday, April 10
    San Diego, CA: Thursday, April 12
    Los Angeles, CA: Friday, April 13
    Montréal, QC, Canada: Tuesday, April 17
    Philadelphia, PA: Thursday, April 19
    Detroit, MI: Wednesday, May 2
    Columbus, OH: Thursday, May 3
    Washington DC: Wednesday, May 9
    Boston, MA: Thursday, May 10
    Oklahoma City, OK: Tuesday, May 22
    San Antonio, TX: Wednesday, May 23
    St. Louis, MO: Tuesday, June 5
    Indianapolis, IN: Wednesday, June 6
    Salt Lake City, UT: Tuesday, June 12
    Denver, CO: Wednesday, June 13

    Google says it has already worked with close to 1,500 publishers in 30 cities through past events. The company advises publishers who wish to attend to make sure their AdSense accounts are opted into Special Offers, to receive invitations. There’s a form to fill out as well.

  • Google AdSense In Your City Goes International

    Back in mid-2010, Google announced the AdSense in Your City program. This is a series of events, which brings Google to various cities to work closely with publishers on best practices, give tips, and whatnot.

    The initiative began in Mountain View, then expanded into places like Santa Monica, Chicago, New York and Boston.

    About a month ago, Google announced that it was kicking off its North American tour for the series, with dates in Portland, Victoria, New Orleans, and Albuquerque.

    Today, Google announced a more global initiative for the series. Events will be coming to Amsterdam, Bogota, Melbourne and Vienna.

    “There’s plenty more to come in 2012 as well, when we’ll be visiting Auckland, Berlin, Buenos Aires, London, Mexico City, Paris, and Sydney, just to name a few,” says Arlene Lee of Google’s Inside AdSense team. “Members of the AdSense team will share the latest product updates and offer 1-to-1 optimization consultations, and you’ll hear from experts on areas such as DFP Small Business, Mobile, YouTube, and Webmaster Tools. You’ll also have the chance to meet other local publishers during the day to share your experiences.”

    If you need an invite to an event, Google has a form here you can fill out to request one.

  • Google Promotes AdSense In Your City Program

    AdSense publishers who live near Boston, Chicago, or New York – or can travel to one of those cities on short notice this summer – should consider filling out an application and maybe packing a bag.  Google’s looking for people to participate in what it calls the AdSense in Your City program.

    A key note before we get much further: if you don’t live near one of those cities, but are interested in the initiative, Google still wants to hear from you.  Talia Brodecki, a product market manager, asked on the Inside AdSense Blog that people leave comments suggesting what other areas the company should take into account.

    As for what’s at stake, Brodecki wrote that the AdSense in Your City program involves members of the AdSense team traveling "to hear directly from you, as well as to share best practices, top optimization tips, and new products."

    Get-togethers are small – think 60 people – and Google’s method of determining who’s allowed to attend favors the first people to request an invitation.

    Recordings of the sessions are supposed to be made available online at some point, however, so don’t worry too much if you can’t make a meeting or aren’t issued an invitation.

    This program should just represent a welcome opportunity for AdSense publishers to interact with Google representatives and become better-informed.
