Google Adsense Blog http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/12/look-back-at-2007.html

New feature launches were abundant in 2007, and many were based on your direct
feedback and requests. To help improve the performance of your ads, we revamped
the look of our ad formats and introduced ad placements to let you promote your site to potential advertisers. The new Manage Ads feature gave you the ability to make changes to your ad units directly in your account and quickly experiment with optimizations. In addition, we launched such features as video units, AdSense for
mobile content, and referrals 2.0 to bring in new revenue streams for your site. Still others like the Allowed Sites list and the recently announced Ad Review Center were inspired by your requests for more control over your ads and your account.
