As of September 5th, Ad Planner information is limited to placements within the Google Display Network (GDN). GDN Ad Planner no longer provides information on any sites, domains, or non-GDN placements. You can still search for sites and domains that are in the GDN, but GDN Ad Planner will only provide information on the associated placements.
See below for specific details on how the tabs, filters, and other information in GDN Ad Planner have changed.

Changes to our Top 1000 sites page and Publisher Center:
Top 1000 sitesThe Ad Planner 1000 list is still available, but we no longer update it. Because it is now the GDN Ad Planner 1000 list, we've removed non-GDN statistics. Statistics only appear for a site on the list if it is in the GDN.
Because all placements listed in GDN Ad Planner are on sites within the GDN, we no longer host a Publisher Center for publishers to manage site descriptions.
