Google AdSense adding some changes in the site management section for the publishers. The Sites page is important for publishers to submit new sites for AdSense approval.
Starting 2023-03-20, Google AdSense is redesigning the Sites section for all the publishers to be more user-friendly and making some important changes alongside the new design and UX.

What’s changing?
The new Sites page will show your list of sites in a table with search functionality, similar to how sites are shown elsewhere in AdSense.
What can be added as a site to AdSense
Going forward, you’ll only be able to add the following as ‘sites’ in your Google AdSense account:
- Domains (e.g. website.com, website.net)
- Subdomains whose domain is listed on the public suffix list (e.g. site.appspot.com)
- Sites that are managed by AdSense platform partners (e.g. site.blogspot.com)
Subdomains
After the new update in Adsense, publishers will no longer be able to add or manage subdomains that are part of an existing site on your Sites page. Any existing subdomains in your account that belong to a site will be removed. This will not impact ad serving or your earnings.
To review which sites have subdomains, visit your Sites page and look for the ‘subdomains’ annotation in the table.
Also, any existing blocking controls for a subdomain (as defined above) will be promoted to the domain level. For example, if you have blocking controls configured for example.com and subdomain.example.com, the combination of those settings will be applied to example.com.
Ads.txt
AdSense is adding a new ads.txt column to the ‘Sites’ table to quickly show you the ads.txt status for your sites.
Site review times
You’ll start getting faster feedback for certain types of issues that AdSense finds with your sites during the initial review process. Some of these improvements may not be immediate for your account.
Google AdSense is always looking for ways to improve the performance and usability of AdSense for publishers.
