I am impressed. Google really tries hard to improve their products. And it already is available in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Ungarian and more. |
Absolutely not new this tab appears only where there are "bugs" or "errors" according to the mediapartner bot for adsense ;-) When the bot can't access to some pages for example ;) |
TOMHTML;
I haven't seen the tab before, and now I have it and it is empty..
so no problems apparently..

As my screenshot shows, I can also see it even though there are no errors.

Yep, now this tab appears for everybody, if there is errors or not. That why I wasn't suprised.
(I remember this tab appeared when, by mistake, I let a Adsense on a password protected page) |
This must be part of their new aim to open information up to webmasters. I wonder if the sitemaps team worked on this? |
I see the tab even though I have no errors.
This is kinda interesting ... as Google seems to have decided that if your Adsense Publisher ID is on a page, then you are (kind of) the "owner" of it and shows if there are any problems.
I.e. an increasing phenomena I've seen is "revenue-sharing" where Publisher ID's are rotated on a page. If that page has an error, who exactly who should be notified via the Adsense Diagnostics?
I.e. is this more a "we could not find a targetted ad for page XYZ" ... or a "we could not crawl page XYZ for some reason" and if the later, doesn't this just totally replicate what sitemaps already does ... and note that forces you to "prove" you are the site owner. |
Yeah Dan that occured to me, this is basically sitemaps isn't it? But obviously it is a neater place to have it. |
