What is the Google Adsense Preview Tool?

The Google AdSense preview tool allows you to preview the ads that may show up on your webpage. This is a very useful tool for website admins who are displaying Google Adsense ads on their website. You can even click on the ads being shown here as the ads are in a test state, so you don’t have to worry about Google penalizing you by banning your Adsense account. You can preview ad formats and colors where you can select a new border or background or text colors. You can also view ads which visitors to your site say from Australia or U.K or India or China or from any other country might be seeing when they visit your website.
