There are a lot of enhancements and feature-requests that I want from Google still, so here’s my list.
Google Maps (I did this already, but here’s a re-cap)
- Optional Direction Mapping
- Real-Time Traffic Reporting
Account Settings -> HomeOptional Quick-to Home
Google AdSense
- Obscure the Google Pub ID
- Faster updating in the control panel
- Optional Video-only ads
- Integration into Google Analytics for tracking
Webmaster Central
- An API
- Enhancements to the new backlink tool
These are just a few things I am hoping Google will add this year.

I’ve got just one, personally… reopen the Google Search SOAP API. I hate the AJAX crap.

Shorty: Oh…yeah…for other people that would be a good one too. I have a SOAP key still so I can use it…but yeah, for other people that would be good :P

Personally, instead of hiding the Adsense publisher ID, how about letting people check cross-site usage: look up sites using the same publisher id – lets you quickly check if an owner is related to “bad neighborhoods”…

@John
Yeah, they could offer that kind of security to only “allow” certain sites, but then what about those sites that have tens of thousands of websites using their adsense code? That would start to cause some headaches for people. On a small-scale that’s manageable, but not large-scale.
Completely hiding the Pub ID, I feel, would be a better solution as long as no one can decrypt it.
