In April 2009, Google introduced category filtering for some AdSense publishers. They expanded it a bit in November and has slowly been giving publishers access to the ad filtering option.

Yesterday, I spotted a thread at WebmasterWorld where two different Adsense publishers were given the feature and then Google took it back. One publisher said:

Another publisher had the same experience and asked, “Was it a premature release?”

Maybe? I assume this is a sign that Google will be rolling out category filtering at a larger scale soon.
