We have been covering Google Ad Manager since its launch and also since we started using it. The biggest complaint from shoemoney readers was that they could not get accepted into the beta.
Well its now open to everyone who has a Adsense account.
From the Adsense blog:
Now we’re excited to bring those benefits to all publishers. If you have an AdSense account, you can sign in to Ad Manager today. If not, apply for an AdSense account now. A Google AdSense account is a technical requirement for creating an Ad Manager account.
Google Ad manager is pretty awesome. I highly recommend you give it a whirl.

sure a good site.I ll definitely try it
I’ve been looking forward to that , would definitely try it soon enough.
Ah must waited tracking tool for me
. But I am also kind of concerned about the amount of information I am opening by for google lately 
I am using this new tool now, seems nice!
Ah the new ad manager is great! Very Very nice I will be making the switch soon.
That’s great news. Nice of google to throw it open to us mortals.
Need to check it out also.. hope this feature will increase my earning…
I’ll check it out, see what tools it has, and if it could be of any use to me!
thanks for the update.
Admanager????? huhhhhhhhh
trying to learn this stuff
Does anyone know if you can use Admanager with glyphius, which I currently use with adsense and adwords?
Thanks for the article, this is just what I needed (besides a bigger filter of course}
Thanks for letting us know.. Watching the tutorials now
good post, I will try using my account adsense…..I hope very useful…thanks
Great that google is offering ad manager service for free. I hope there will be significant up rise in earning with adsense.
wtf! you’ve got to be kidding me…
It’s nice that Google has the admanager ability, it’s so easy to access everything without remembering a million and a half passwords and logins through Google.
I mean how they have all your accounts in sync
Great Post Glad They Allow Adsense Users In Now
Google just rocks! Hands down, it’s hard to beat ‘em – these guys just keep stickin’ their super effecient noses everywhere…
Sooner or later we’ll be buying gas at a Google Station, and filling up our tires with Google Air, and munching on a McGoogleburgers &
(whoops) environmentally friendly, low carb Google iFries.
but until Big Brother drops the iron boot, I’ll keep rockin’ the freebies
Probably not for most of your audience, but ad management at this level is new to me – I’m really looking forward to introducing this to my sites – this MUST make running a network of sites a whole lot easier.
Maybe I should start using AdSense again as just the Ad Manager itself opening up for everyone (like me) is tempting…
Hopefully, I’ll start seeing better results with AdSense when using this.
GOOGLE ADSENSE FUCKING SUCKS! It is a sham. It only serves Google’s pockets and share holders.
99.9% of web publishers & advertisers get screwed and either are wasting their time or money. Do Not listen to these self proclaimed blogging experts, they have an agenda and are trying to con you out of your money!!!
This is a very one-sided view. I think you can not propose an alternative. This means that your words is empty.
It is not really geared towards small publishers, it was developed and being developed for big to huge publishers.
I have got to check this out. Its a big thing for us bloggers.Keep it up google.
Wow, another great move for Google. I really don’t know about that Adsense Ad Manager thing.. how it works, etc.
It saves lot of time.I like this feature.
This is a significant improvement to the simple setup screen that exist. I wonder if they will move the Manage Ads, section into this new manager.
I had to sign up for adsense so I can try this out.
I have been looking forward to this for quite some time, Google seems to be making a lot of positive changes and listening to their customers feedback, what a nice change from the status quo.
Thanks for the heads up I will now be able to give it a whirl!
Woo hoo!!! I have been wanting to revamp my adsense ads for some time now. What a great excuse to jump right into the new beta. Your Aw3som3z0rz Shoe, as allways.
and here I thought I was lucky early last week when I got the email that my application was finally accepted. Very nice tool though, great potential all around.
Step1. He uploads porn on my site
Step2. He reports me to google
Step3. I get banned for eternity
Step4. Post useless for me
Step5. /cry
That’s su*ks, really – And your AdSense account is banned due to that?
Read step4
Didn’t mess with the Beta version but this should come in handy. Google never disappoints other than with a few low CPC through adsense from time to time.
awesome, thanks for the update
hey dude, how bout those who are banned from adsense? cn they still use it?
you need to have an adsense account to be able to use Google Ad Manager. “A Google AdSense account is a technical requirement for creating an Ad Manager account.”
ok fine thanks…
Is there any reason I should drop OpenX and use this instead?
yes many… do a simple search.
going to check it out right now, thanks for the heads up!
Managed to blag’ an invite to the beta a while back, it is an interesting product, bit of an arse moving over from a different system (OpenX or whatever) but I really like it so far. The Geo-Targeting is a great feature btw.
The only gripe is every time I paste code into the Creative it gives back an error the first time (every time).
Other than that a great tool for your rotations, I think it will encourage more people to move away (to an extent) from just using adsence and experiment with other sources of banners.

Oh pimp, thanks for the notice.
Google AdManager is great, I have tried it and there are lots of great features.
I think it’s amazing that Google is offering such a powerful tool for free. This is something that would sell for hundreds of dollars at least. Even a simple ad manager for Joomla is expensive!
It follows with the way google works – they offer many great
services for free, I guess it means that they can be sure of
getting a good take up. I wonder how much it costs google
to do the free stuff compared to their income?
I had already been accepted by invitation, but I’m using Google Ad Manager on one of my sites & it’s great.
ahh, and where to i could upload my creatives? i think google can serve that
I will have to check this out. Need more time.
Which is better?
Google Admanager or OpenX
It is literally inconceivable that I have not won the t-shirt contest yet. Stupid rand() !!!!
good luck on that, seems you would have won by now, how long is left?
we already have sponsors for the next one so
thanks for keeping us updated
I have been using it for 3 months, it’s cool but I actually prefer OpenX. Call me old fashioned I guess….
this is awesome news. I’m going to have to give it a try.
This should not try. Serve application need. Quickly.-)) I already gave. -)
what if the adsense account is banned ?
Uhh my guess is no.
that simply means you aint gonna use it…
Excellent news for those that didn’t get in already
Btw, thanks for adding rpelies back
Watching the tutorials now. This tool looks simply amazing with all of the features that they have added into it!
not having this was just one of the reasons why i never used adsense. I will take another look and see if it is worth it compared to just rotating my own affiliate ads.
Really im going to have a hard time seeing a situation where adsense makes me more money than a awll placed and well chosen aff link.
what say you? when do YOU think adsense makes more sense?
thanks and take care,
Bry
Adsense makes sense in that it takes so little effort to setup and maintain. Agree that there is better money to be made with direct sales/affiliates.
I am sorry but what does this product do? Help you sell ads?

Thanks for the link Jeremy!
HOLY SHIT!
Very cool, thanks for the heads up!
Sweet, this is the Google product I’ve really been anxious for!
Same – it’s about time!!
I like how they allow you to use other ad networks, not just adsense
