Red View: Van Persie signs, Sir Alex on new season, Everton preview + more

EXCITEMENT AS VAN PERSIE ARRIVES Both Robin van Persie and Sir Alex Ferguson are thrilled by the prospect of the Dutch striker pulling on the famous red shirt for Manchester United. At a press conference to officially unveil the star signing, the former Arsenal captain explained the motivation for his switch to Old Trafford despite interest from other clubs. "Manchester United breathes football," admitted van Persie. "Every aspect. For me, I made the decision quite soon. It was based on a lot of things and all these things went for United. When I have to make a hard decision, I always listen to the little boy inside me and what does he want? That little boy was screaming for Manchester United." Sir Alex believes his latest recruit is ready made, just as Eric Cantona was when he arrived from Leeds in 1992. "He's a finished player," said the boss. "You've got to remember Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are coming to an end and we need top mature players to replace them. The young players will come on but they won't be able to replace Scholes and Giggs now. "We've had several players like that, starting with Cantona of course. Robin brings a certainty to us for the future. He's a different physical specimen to the players we already have at the club." More - Red Voices podcast: Van Persie reaction | Robin proud to be Red | RvP only wanted United BOSS: CITY THE TEAM TO BEAT Sir Alex Ferguson admits he views Manchester City as the biggest threat in the Barclays Premier League in 2012/13. Ahead of Monday's season opener at Everton, the manager disagrees with Roberto Mancini's view that United are favourites, as do the bookmakers. Sir Alex says the reigning champions are clearly the team to beat again after ending a 44-year title drought. "Neighbours are neighbours," explained Sir Alex. "The derby games never change. The defeat at Old Trafford was where we lost the league with the goal difference and, if you ask me, who are the biggest threat this season, then it's Manchester City - without question. Roberto Mancini says we're favourites every week. Is he not going to realise he's got a decent team himself? "I think with the experience we've had last year, it was a different type of year and the first time anyone has beaten us on goal difference. That was a change and it won't happen again. Trust me on that. "I'm almost certain Chelsea will be challenging as well - they won the European Cup, the trophy Roman Abramovich has been after and now he's excited again so they've signed a few players. But I still look at City as our biggest threat."

AdSense Newsletter - July 2012

To view this email as a web page, go here.

July 2012 Publisher ID ca-pub-7301281424484830 Dear publisher, In this last newsletter edition before the summer we have a packed list of updates and suggestions to help you bridge the break until the next issue in September. Our Tip of the Month for July explains how you can boost your revenue by placing ads where users can easily see them. You'll also find information about: Using data to determine your mobile strategy Learning from other publishers – A message from Dave Taylor Leveraging the new step-by-step guide to DFP Small Business Broadcasting live with Google+ Hangouts on Air Managing ads with the Google Publisher Toolbar Knowing the trends in the online display ads business Managing multiple users in your account Enjoy your summer and thanks for your continued partnership with Google AdSense. Sophie The Google AdSense Team Tip of the Month Overcome user ad-blindness with better ad placements  A general principle for ad placements says that you should place your ad units high up on the page so your users will see them easily. However, ad units placed at the absolute top of the page (before any content) tend to suffer from user ad-blindness and on average show a 61% lower CTR than ads below the header and closer to the content.  If you have an ad unit at the very top of the page, you should test whether moving the ad unit closer to the rest of your content, yet still above the fold, improves the ad performance.   Improve ad placements   If you’re experimenting with placing an ad below the header, you can use this handy tool to check whether your ads are still appearing above the fold. Updates Launching the new step-by-step guide to DFP Small Business If you're looking into monetizing your site with AdSense alongside other ad networks or direct advertisers, DFP Small Business is Google's free, hosted ad serving solution to help manage all of your ads. We've recently launched DFP Academy, a step-by-step guide to getting started with ad serving.   Join DFP Academy   Broadcast live with Google+ Hangouts on Air  Want to host a live video broadcast and connect with your users in a new way? Google+ Hangouts on Air enable you to do just that - whether you want to teach a class, discuss a topic with active readers, or just share your content live in front of a global audience. Users can tune into your live stream from your Google+ page, your YouTube channel, and your site. Learn more about Hangouts on Air, and get started with hosting your own. Save time with the Google Publisher Toolbar The Google Publisher Toolbar is a new Chrome extension that allows you to view your performance data, drill down into ad unit statistics, and block ads by creative or URL - all while viewing your site in Chrome. Once you've installed the toolbar, you'll be able to see a snapshot of your account performance via a widget in the corner of your browser window. You can also enable ad overlays  directly on your page to block ads or to view more information about specific ad units. To get started with the Publisher Toolbar, just follow the instructions in our Help Center. Check what's trending in the online display ads business One of the ways we support our publishers is by giving access to new sources of knowledge that enables them to make the most from display advertising. We therefore recently introduced the "Display Business Trends: Publisher Edition" which shows you the top site verticals in the AdSense network in terms of monetized impressions and allows you to compare CPMs across ad sizes, countries, and verticals. Manage access to your AdSense account for multiple users  In response to the most highly-requested feature that we've heard publishers ask for, it's now possible to invite new users to access an AdSense account. With this new feature, you'll be able to give colleagues or partners access to your account, but with certain restrictions around the information that they can see and edit. For more information about getting started, visit our Help Center. Was this newsletter helpful? Share your feedback with us.

Red View: United gear up for pre-season tour

REDS RETURN TO ACTION Many of the United players returned to training at Carrington this week and the team will soon be in pre-season action. In less than a fortnight, the Reds will be in South Africa for the start of the six-game DHL Tour 2012, which also includes matches in China, Norway, Sweden and Germany. Red View remains on its summer break until the league season begins in mid-August; to stay in touch until then, visit manutd.com/tour2012 and register to receive our tour emails. Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed recent signings Shinji Kagawa and Nick Powell will be in the travelling squad as United's preparations for the new campaign begin in earnest. We announced on Tuesday that Powell and Kagawa will wear no.25 and no.26 respectively in 2012/13, while Antonio Valencia has been handed the iconic no.7 shirt. And the boss believes the tour will be of particular benefit to both the new and young faces in his squad. "It'll be important for Shinji, who will be coming on his first tour with us," Sir Alex told MUTV. "He'll get to know players like Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Rio Ferdinand - the experienced players in the camp. "Shinji doesn't speak English so he'll have his interpreter with him and hopefully by the time he comes back he'll speak good Scottish! "We also have Nick Powell, who is 18, so it'll be a great step up for the boy. We'll take a few of the young players, too, possibly including the likes of Tyler Blackett, Larnell Cole, Jesse Lingard, and Michael Keane."
