My experience with AdSense over the past year has been great, and my payouts have gradually increased, never a drop. We are definitely getting the small piece of the pie, but as has been said many times in this thread, that is the way this and every other 'commission' based business works.
Hi all, I've been lurking here on and off for a year or something, but this thread just gives me the creeps. I don't know how the fact that a growing percentage of Google-revenu comes from adsense can in any way translate into: advertisers are turning off displaying their ads on publisher-websites (or partner websites or whatever they are called). If the percentage of revenue google gets off adsense in increasing, it has to mean that most advertisers are not as worried about clickfraud as some of the press suggests. My revenu has steadily increased, mainly because my visitor-numbers have steadily increased. If your income hasn't increased you can do three things: hope for better times, quit or create new quality content. (roughly).
Well well well, I don't feel publishers are benefiting from their profits, I feel we are getting less and less...
At the moment I am very happy that google`s adsense program make money for us.Don`t be greedy and everything is going to be alright
