It's already a few weeks into the new year, but it's never too late to set resolutions. That's why today we'd like to share the outcome of our bi-annual publisher satisfaction survey. If you're opted in to receive occasional surveys from us, you may have seen or filled out this survey. Over 28,000 of you participated globally, and we received more than 33,000 comments on your favorite aspects about AdSense as well as changes you'd like to see.
The main areas of improvement that emerged from the survey are: AdSense Program Policies, AdSense Support, and Communication from AdSense. Your feedback is very important to us and we'd like to share some insights on what we've done in these areas so far and how we want to further improve them. We're also working on improving in other important areas like payments and we'll continue to report back on those throughout the year.

We know that it's important for you to get quick answers to your questions, and that's why we have a variety of support resources available. However, you've told us that you sometimes struggle to find the information you need, or would like to be able to address questions directly to our team. With this in mind, we'd like to address two main points:

AdSense Program Policies
Many of your comments in the survey showed that you're interested in more transparency around our program policies and which ad implementations are allowed. We've started adding more resources like our regular blog posts about specifics of our program policies and we're also working on:
- Making the violation messaging clearer to ensure the actions you need to take are clearly highlighted.
- Providing you with more information on how to contact the AdSense policy team and where to find important resources.
We know that it's important for you to get quick answers to your questions, and that's why we have a variety of support resources available. However, you've told us that you sometimes struggle to find the information you need, or would like to be able to address questions directly to our team. With this in mind, we'd like to address two main points:
- After a ground-up rebuild of our AdSense Help Center we'll continue to focus on improving usability and content quality in 2012. We'll also be testing more personalized support options and want to make the available levels of support clearer for you.
- In the coming months, we're hosting events in various countries to give you the opportunity to meet the AdSense team in person, ask questions, and get optimization tips. We want to be more accessible for you, so opt in to our "Special Offers" emails in order to receive event invitations and watch out for more information on our Inside AdSense blog or the AdSense newsletter.

- We'll collect and share new case studies focusing especially on small to medium sized publishers, with examples from specific verticals or industries to make our optimization suggestions even more relevant for you and your website.
- Following your suggestion to feature more local updates, we'll incorporate local content in our AdSense newsletter, whenever possible.
