Part of the reason why I am reluctant to change the templates of my blogs is I have to customize the Adsense codes into the colors and designs that I prefer and paste the codes over to my templates. If I have only a blog, I don’t mind doing so. But after setting up and changing templates for more than 10 blogs, I would say that I try my best not to touch the codes anymore. But now, we are easily manage the ads as a new feature has been added into the Setup page.

 You can easily manage the codes now by doing so:

 How has the process of generating new ad code changed?
On the ‘Get Ads’ page of the ‘AdSense Setup’ tab, you’ll find the same code generation wizard you’ve used before. At the end of the wizard, you’ll now be prompted to provide a name for the ad unit you’ve just created. We recommend using a descriptive name so that you’ll remember where you pasted this ad unit. For instance, use names like “Homepage Leaderboard, example.com” or “Top 300×250, Sports pages.” You can find more detailed instructions in our Help Center.

Why do I need to name my new ad units now?
With this new feature, all your new ad code will have a name and an unique ad slot ID. This will help you remember them so you can make changes to them later directly on the ‘Manage Ads’ page. As noted above, please be as specific as possible when naming your ad units and include information such as location, ad size, and domain.

Will the old ad code on my sites still work?
Any ad code you’ve generated in the past will continue to work as normal. However, please note that the old ad code will not automatically be updated to include this feature. If you’d like to apply this new feature to your old ad units, you can import the code and save the new settings.

Just check out Adsense blog to know more about this. I think I have to spend some time importing my codes too. Oh boy, I have so many blogs to deal with!
