Let’s get to it.
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
 | Starting next week, my sister, Taryn Redl, will be taking the reins at Poughkeepsie Weekly. When I launched PW in 2023, the goal was to strengthen our sense of community, and thanks to you, this newsletter has grown by more than 900% since then. Especially in today’s political climate, I’ve always believed in the importance of spaces that bring the community together and encourage the sharing of ideas you might not otherwise be exposed to. As I step back due to my new role as a County Legislator, I’m grateful to pass this project on and excited to see it continue bringing our community together. -Trevor Redl |
Elected officials in the City of Poughkeepsie and the Dutchess County Legislature were sworn in recently!
From the Buzz: Common Council Members Ernest Henry, 1st Ward; Ondie James, 5th Ward; Daniel Atonna, 8th Ward; members of Girl Scout Heart of the Hudson Troop #10094; NYS Assemblyman Jonathan G. Jacobson; Majority Leader Nedra Patterson-Thompson, 7th Ward; troop leader Rosario Andújar-McNeil; and Terriciena Brown, 3rd Ward.
The Dutchess County Legislature recently held its swearing-in ceremony, officially welcoming legislators for the new term. The 25-member body serves as the County’s policy-making and budget adopting authority, with responsibilities that include levying taxes, approving appropriations, and adopting local laws in coordination with the County Executive. |
