Sandbox Tool 1.0 - New Google Adsense Preview

Published by Chris | Filed under Internet, Make Money Blogging, Self SEO | May 21st, 2007

Google Adsense is the major earning source for most webmasters, but if one thing Google has always been disapproves of is that it does not allow webmaster to know what ads being displayed on the websites or forums. Releasing Google Adsense Preview tool solved the problem to some extend but this preview tool was not sufficient for most webmaster as the tool was limited. Thanks to Amit Aggarwal of Labnol, the Adsense Sandbox 1.0 tool was developed.



Google Adsense Sandbox Tool v 1.0 give you two options for Adsense preview
1. Keywords: You just type in the keywords for which you want to preview Google Adsense in the “Type URL or Keywords” box and click the submit button.
2. URL: This is one of the major tool that Adsense Sandbox has. It allows you to preview all the adsense ads coming on a website whose URL is provided by you in the “Type URL or Keywords” box.
One of the main feature that I liked about Adsense sandbox is that it allows you to view all the ads that are being displayed on your website based on the Ad format such as 728 x 90, 250 x 250 etc. So that you can know what are the ads that will be displayed on choosing a particular ads format.



Adsense Sandbox Preview Tool also has is the geo-targeted Adsense preview tool. You can set the country in the Adsense sandbox tool you wish the result should display. You can also set it to “Auto” which I think sets the country automatically according to your IP address.

I think this tool could be a innovative tool in Adsense as it allows webmasters to have a more detailed looks on the ads being served by Google on their blog.
