1. Top Search Queries Google AdSense Report Broken - 2007-07-05 08:22:27-04
   

   It appears that if you try to load the "top queries data" report under your advanced reports for "AdSense for search," the page simply won't load.

   Pretty much every Google AdSense publisher is currently having this issue. The report simply comes back after a long time saying:

   There were no queries from your site during this date range.

   There are several people reporting this at WebmasterWorld.

   Is it just me, or is anyone else having problems getting the Top Search Queries report on AdSense for Search to work? I'm getting around 500 searches per day these days, and whenever I try to run that report, be it for the month or just for the previous day, it either just hangs and hangs or else produces some kind of an error message. It used to work for me just fine before my traffic spiked, and now I'm wondering if I'm overloading it.

2. FeedBurner Goes Completely Free - 2007-07-05 08:33:51-04
   

   With Google's acquisition of FeedBurner recently, it came with no surprise that they made their fee-based services now free.

   I have been using FeedBurner's paid service since August 2005. I have always been a fan of the feed management service they offer, the ad ons such as feed flare, the pro services and the advanced reports - oh, let's not forget their ad program that helps sustain this site.

   Now, if you have a blog and have never signed up with FeedBurner, there is really no excuse. You can use your own domain and even 301 those links, so you get the link popularity.

   As I reported at Search Engine Land, they have made TotalStats and MyBrand totally free.

   I just hope they are able to continue to offer good support, but I have a feeling that level of service will go out the window.

3. Google Sends More Surveys to AdSense Publishers - 2007-07-05 09:59:39-04
   

   A number of people are reporting that Google has sent a survey to select AdSense publishers. On the DigitalPoint Forums, members discuss the survey and are overall pretty satisfied that they were able to participate and give insights about how to improve the service.

   The only concerns voiced was that a select few individuals thought that it would have been better to have more opportunity to provide detailed written answers.

   This is very similar to the surveys that were dispensed a little over a year ago. You can opt in for future surveys and mailings from the Google AdSense team by accessing your email preferences. As an incentive, participants are entered into a draw for $1,000.
