See things before they happen

Wish you could see your AdSense ads before pasting the code on your pages? With the Google AdSense preview tool for Windows Internet Explorer, you can. Even publishers who use the preview tool aren't always aware of all its useful features, so we decided to highlight a few gems:

Filter more efficiently – You don't have to wait until AdSense ads are on your page to block any unwanted ads from appearing. It’s quick and easy to preview your site’s ad inventory and add URLs to your Competitive Ad Filter list.

Test color schemes – You can preview your ads using a selection of color schemes, helping you to visualize how AdSense will look on your pages.

Experience geotargeting – Do you wonder whether your users in India are seeing the same Google ads as users in France? With geotargeting, AdWords advertisers choose specific countries they want to target. Then, AdSense determines where your users are located based on their IP address and serves geographically targeted ads accordingly. The preview tool allows you to see your site's ad inventory for a variety of locations.

Please note that if you're a newly approved AdSense publisher, the preview tool may not display relevant ads until your site content has been indexed by our crawler. This means you may have to run the AdSense code on one or two pages of your site before trying out the preview tool.
