Each AdSense in Your City event includes presentations on optimization tips, DoubleClick for Publishers Small Business, and our mobile offering. 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.

If you’re interested in attending an AdSense in Your City event, let us know. We’ll be sending out invitations soon so make sure your AdSense account is opted in to Special Offers so we can reach you.

Recapping our recent North American AdSense in Your City events

Recent months have been busy and exciting for the AdSense in Your City team! Since January, we’ve met with over 500 publishers across the U.S. and Canada. To date, the AdSense in Your City team has met with close to 1500 publishers in more than 30 cities and we can’t wait to host more events.

We’ve had a great time working with our AdSense publishers and sharing our optimization tips and best practices for AdSense, DoubleClick for Publishers Small Business (DFP SB) and Mobile. It’s also great to see so many of our publishers networking with one another and making friendships. One publisher in Albuquerque excitedly told me, “This is the first time I’ve been in a room where everyone knows what AdSense is!” We hope that we can continue to provide forums for our publishers to get together and share their stories and insights.

From snowy days in Portland, OR and Victoria, BC to a visit to the “Music City” in Nashville, TN, the team has brought back wonderful AdSense success stories and feedback.

A publisher from Oregon, who attended our Las Vegas event in November, was snowed in during the Portland event but came to Albuquerque to meet with us again. After implementing our tips from Las Vegas, the publisher saw a revenue increase by 40%.


We appreciate all of our publishers who have taken the time to attend our events, especially those who have traveled great distances to meet with us. Our team is looking forward to continuing to meet with even more of our amazing publishers. We’ll be announcing our next 15 cities soon, so stay on the lookout for our next update. If you want the AdSense in Your City team to come to your city, let us know by adding your North American city in the comments section below.

Continuing the AdSense in Your City journey



The AdSense in Your City optimization team was back on the road again and recently hosted over 40 publishers in Walnut Creek, CA.  Publishers in attendance learned about top optimization tips, our DoubleClick for Publishers Small Business product and the Google +1 button. Each publisher also received a 1:1 optimization session with one of our specialists.

One publisher shared his thoughts on the experience he had:
“I traveled [for] hours to attend this event and found it well worth it. The presentation was great and the one on one session was invaluable. Also, networking with other content publishers at the event added even more value to the experience. A must attend for anyone looking to optimize their websites and increase AdSense revenue.”

If you’d like to attend an event, we’re heading to Kansas City, MO next week and there are still a few spots open. We’ll also be going to Chicago, IL and Las Vegas, NV in the coming weeks. If you’re interested in learning more about AdSense optimization and meeting our team, please fill out our interest form.


We asked publishers to share what AdSense has given them.

Thanks to all of our publishers who came to Walnut Creek. We had a great time working with you and hearing your AdSense stories.
