But if it becomes server-side, what happens to the ability to change your colours (in the google_ variables) on the spot? Will a publisher like myself need to visit the AdSense site to change the colours?

I find that a bit inconvenient since I do a lot of coding to try to integrate my site design. (Is modifying the hexadecimal colour value a violation of the Program Policies?)

It seems very normal to me, to have the possibility of managing your ads and not really change the code on your website.
This is a feature that I would should of been implemented a long time ago.
Exactly like you said, with WidgetBucks is a lot more easier to change your ads.

I implemented a “similar” feature with an Openads (www.openads.org) server… I set up my various ads in the Openads server (Adsense, Widgetbucks, whatever), then the code on my page is pointing to the Openads world… it takes care of handing out the ads that I have selected. I can change who I’m dealing with/promoting/whatever without going through my blogs after that first setup.

@Michal Levy: it’s not just for Americans. Adsense Blog from Brazil announced the same thing.

Good feauture but it would be much better if they offer ad server like OpenAds. Where you can rotate your ads for example change colors or put your own ads and define percentage for displaying particular ad.
Even if they don’t offer using different ads it would be nice if color settings for ad on same place wil change to grab and test atention of visitors.

This sounds great. The last time i changed my theme was a bit cumbersome becuase of the ads. Took me some time to get everything right.

Nowadays, I only show ads to visitors from searchengines, but the code is still there.

Are you sure that this isn’t only for people in the US?

When making this change over people should consider hooking up to some sort of real ad server (like OpenAds). Since they are going to swap out all their ad code anyways and by putting the adsever into the loop it would allow publishers to do things like split testing different type of ads against AdSense to see which is more profitable and to offer CPM ads.
OpenAds is free and included with Fantastico btw.

That’s a great feature although other PPC affiliate programs have that kind of feature already like Bidvitiser and Widgetbucks. But still Adsense is the best.

Been reading this in my feed reader yesterday on the “Google Blogoscooped” feed. I think it’s just a great feature. Easily change your ads without opening up wordpress, go to the themes tab, show the files, and then manually edit it.

Great work Google! I can’t wait to see it online.

I suppose users fo the non-English versions of AdSense will have to wait alittle bit for the new feature… But at least Google’s starting to introduce some reasonable changes, wow…

It is really a nice feature from Adsense.. We may expect at least 2 weeks for this to be implemented.. I Guess

This will be the great feature; now one can try different layout/color combinations for the same ad spot without changing the code. Excellent feature!!!

Wow, this is a great idea. I can’t wait to get it, though you’re right, it is going to be a bit annoying to replace all the ads I have.
