We wanted to share a publisher's thoughts about the Ad Review Center, so we chatted with Jennifer McDonald, Account Manager at RealNetworks for sites such as rollingstone.com and film.com. Before using it, Jennifer says that "the concerns Real had... were mainly concerns about running competitive ads on our sites." But she says that by using the Ad Review Center, her team has been able to keep competitive ads from running. As she notes, "We are able to quickly review the ads before they run on our sites and block any ads that are considered competitive to our services."
The Ad Review Center is now available for all publishers utilizing placement targeting. You can get started with this feature by visiting your 'Competitive Ad Filter' page, located under the 'AdSense Setup' tab.
Before getting started, we strongly recommend keeping your review preference set to the default of 'Run ads immediately.' This will let you allow or block ads after they have run. If you choose the other option of 'Hold ads,' the ads will await review for 24 hours before being allowed to run automatically. Using the 'Hold ads' setting will keep ads from participating in the auction while they await review, potentially lowering winning bids and your AdSense earnings. Ads that you have blocked can't compete in the auction either, so we ask that you keep in mind the revenue impact of blocking ads or switching from the 'Run ads immediately' setting.

Can someone from adsense PLEASE contact me. I've tried everything I know to try and get a hold of you guys but I can never get an answer.
Many thanks!
Now that I can filter ads, which may be the reason my account was closed to begin with, ie; affiliate pages matching ads on web site, can I have my account back? Hopefully with money already made.That whole process was totaly unfair. Google chose what ads to display, not my fault a lot of them I am an affiliate for.

Excellent!
This is an awesome feature. I have an idea that would compliment this nicely.
I have a lot of competitors that try to sneak thier ads on my site so I must hold ads for review, even though I don't like to hold up the bidding. What would help is if we got an email when an ad showed up for review so we can deal with it promptly.
Thank you for considering this,
Bobby
Hello Adsense Team,
It is really great improvement. Thank you.
Would it be possible to have the same functionality for all ADs and not for "placement-targeted ads" only?
I mean the same possibility to block - approve ALL ads as is available in Adbrite network for example?
Of course, the automatic email notification would be great if you could integrate it as well as a new functionality to display price per click for each ad :-)
Thanks and have a nice day!
That is great, you become more and more efficient.
What would be cool is something that shows all the ads that are being displayed on your site in one place. It would be easier than just going though my site and viewing them. I like to make sure nothing crazy is going on. Also so I could actually click them to see where they lead, which I can't actually do right now.
Yes we needed this. This is a good add on feature.
