Banish bad ads for good

Your site, your ad choices.

Don’t let intrusive ads ruin the experience for the audience you've worked hard to build.

With Google AdSense, you can ensure only the ads you want appear on your site, making it the strongest and most compelling option.

Don’t just take our word for it. DIY Eule, one of Germany’s largest sewing content creators says, “With Google AdSense, I can customize the placement, amount, and layout of ads on my site.”

Google AdSense gives you full control to customize exactly where you want ads—and where you don't. Use the powerful controls to designate ad-free zones, ensuring a positive user experience.

THE DIGEST

This holiday season, shop local! Dutchess Handmade and all our small local businesses bring creativity, character, and community to Poughkeepsie.

Supporters of the legislation, sponsored by Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha and Senator Michelle Hinchey, point to an independent analysis estimating a $3.5 billion purchase price and long-term savings for ratepayers under a not-for-profit model.

Opponents argue a takeover could cost closer to $7 billion upfront and lead to higher delivery charges. However, the coalition has not publicly released the full data or methodology behind its cost estimates.
