| Adsense: Google Introduces HTTPS-Compatible Ad code For AdSense (KeepAmericaatWork) |
Google is rolling out more and more interesting new features for AdSense to make it more user-friendly. The latest addition to the Google Adsense is the HTTPS-compatible Ad Code for AdSense. To publishers using google adsense, this https-compatible adsense ad code is a very welcome development.

Much of the signed-in web uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) to protect users’ sensitive information. For instance, most eCommerce and social networking websites use the HTTPS protocol to create secure sites that protect users sensitive information such as credit card and login credentials. We’ve updated the AdSense ad code so that it now supports secure ad serving through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on HTTPS web pages. This means that publishers with secure sites can now use AdSense ad code to serve SSL-compliant ads.

Our current ad code looks like this:

The new HTTPS-enabled ad code replaces the old and uses a protocol-relative URL to kick off the ad request:
Synchronous ad code
Now when the user visits your secure website via HTTPS, AdSense serves the ad via HTTPS. A visit via HTTP will still serve the ad via HTTP, as before.
HTTPS-enabled sites require all resources on the page, including the ads, to be SSL compliant to protect the user against man-in-the-middle attacks. If an HTTPS page loads an HTTP resource, the page is considered mixed content, and the browser displays a mixed content warning (like the padlock with warning triangle in Chrome). New browser releases like Firefox 23 are starting to block mixed active content (scripts) but still display mixed content warnings for mixed passive content (images).
The mixed content warnings vary in aggressiveness among browsers. Here are some examples:
Our current ad code looks like this:
Synchronous ad code
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
Asynchronous ad code
<script async src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js">

To make sure that all resources loaded by our ad calls on your secure page are SSL compliant, AdSense will remove non-SSL compliant ads from competing in the auction, which in theory means less auction pressure. This feature is meant to provide a monetization solution for publishers with existing HTTPS pages and not a reason for publishers to convert sites from HTTP to HTTPS. The HTTPS-compliant ads currently are text, image and Flash ads, but we are working on enabling more as we can make sure they are safe to use on secure pages.
Note that if you load your web page from the file system using the file:// protocol while developing, you won’t see the ads appear; instead, you’ll get a 404 response. In this case the asynchronous ad code –

| AdSense: Introducing Google AdSense Live Chat Support (Seroundtable) |
Many people blog mainly to earn income from Google AdSense but the hassle of getting approved adsense account successfully run the adsense account weed out such bloggers from the blogosphere. Google has been adding new services to reduce woes of bloggers from Adsense related issues. The latest of such service is the Google AdSense Live Chat Support.
A year ago, Google began offering email support to AdSense publishers, which was a big deal. They have even tested phone support but that didn't work out. Now they are offering live chat support to some AdSense publishers between certain business hours.
A WebmasterWorld thread has publishers, a bunch of them, claiming they see the new chat feature. I do not see it this morning, but it is only 8am EDT and I doubt the support hours will start until at least 9am EDT or even maybe 11am EDT because Google is on pacific time.
That being said, some publishers are being notified about the enhanced support while others are not but are seeing the feature.
Here is the email some publishers have received:
New! We now offer direct chat consultation for our publishers. You can chat with a support representative Monday through Friday from 11am to 12pm (PST).
Help us categorize your issue using the choices below. With this information, we'll quickly guide you to a solution. If the resource we provide does not resolve your issue, you'll see a button to Email or Chat with a member of our support team directly.It isn't exactly new, I spotted a blog post from May about chat support with screen shots to prove it.
I am sure this will be liked by publishers who have access to it.
