    For 3-4 days ago google introduced their new ads. These ads allow visitors to only click on title of the ad. Not description as it was before. Not only that but my CTR and eCPM decreased. I get 0.015$ per click. What a disgrace. I moved, my best decision ever. Lets send out message to google to take the piss.
    Please sign your name and the new advertiser you use now and I will regularly update the thread with the complete list.
    I will post the difference in revenue after the change soon.


    LIST STARTS HERE:

    1.Gabriel_Sylar moved to ShoppingAds
    2.jambo182 moving to Adbrite

    I think he means the reduced clickable area.

    For now, I'm staying with Adsense. If it continues like that for the next two - three days, I'm for sure going to get a new company.

    The problem is there is not rite alternative for adsense. If you cannot earn in adsense other netwoprks will be very difficult.

    Actually, I believe they did this to reduce the amount of accidental clicks, it still sucks none the less.

    My CTR has not changed so i'm sticking with Adsense - however I've always been using Kontera alongside of Adsense to keep earnings up..
    If you've got to switch, I recommend Kontera - makes almost as much for me as Adsense..

    I also observed some changes in my ctr but not so dramatic like other, only about 0.5% for all my channels. Maybe because I never tried to make my users to click on the ads accidentally

    You can run Kontera + Adsense and keep your earnings high. How long does it take for Kontera to update their stats?

    Oh crap!!
    now I know why my earning went in half

    edit:
    Well if there going to do this then should get rid of Smartpricing. Afterall smartpricing is cuased by "bad clicks"
    So if there is less accidental clicks no need for Smartpricing.

    I am only facing too much less ctr on the sites where I applied new ad codes generated through Manage Ads.
    I am much worry about these new codes, as my ctr reduced to about 1% from about 10%.

    Maybe you should also start a list of people staying with AdSense and we'll compare.
