It would be useful to have a "Show Ads" permission, so ads could be hidden for admin or registered users. You can edit the block settings, but that gets cumbersome when you've got multiple ads and page layouts.

Here is a quick implementation of a "Show ads for Administrator" checkbox in the administrative menus. Probably could/should be expanded to have more features, but I needed something so I don't lose my mind while working on this project.

I was too excited to disable the ads and missed some logic. This works as advertised...

I prefer a "hide ads" permission rather than hard code it to uid 1.

User having this permission won't see ads. A step farther (but not indispensable now) is users with this permission will have a checkbox in their profile to choose whether they want to see ads.

This was as first step, I don't think this version will be committed. I figured my quick fix could get the ball rolling.

The reason it is "Active" and not "Needs Review"

This can't be done with a standard permission since user_access() always returns TRUE for UID 1. Instead, I implemented it using code from the Google Analytics module to allow ad visibility selection by role. New section added to settings page at: /admin/config/system/google_admanager
