Google has implemented major changes to its Adsense interface and terms.
The interface has changed to a more Google-mail type layout with dramatic changes to the reporting modules, with an initial overview screen presenting various summaries of results, including day only results, and top performing site results, where as the previous layout is available only through a new advanced reports module. CSV reports are also available from the main reporting screen. Ad layout options remain mostly unchanged.
The terms of service has also changed with users being forced to agree to the new TOS upon logging into Adsense. There are 4 major changes, with the most interesting one being the clause on publicity, with users now having to agree (I think for the first time) that ‘โฌลGoogle may use Your name and logo in presentations, marketing materials, customer lists, financial reports and Web site listings of customers’โฌ?’โฌยฆbasically letting Google use your blog logo and name where ever and when ever it wants.
No doubt there will be more reports elsewhere as the day progresses.
Update Darren at Problogger is covering the changes as well.
