It doesn't necessarily means more earnings for publishers, but it means more earnings for google that's for sure.
I don't know how long Adsense been running this "Google-certified" ad networks but...about 2 days ago my revenue per day drop at least 60% I'm still rank in the same position in the SERP and still getting the same traffic...but I just took a look at my site today and my ads were irrelevant! Decide to block this "new" ad network and see how it works out...
will be interesting to see if this has any real impact on earnings on our end or simply up's google's earnings
Well, this would create more competition for the adwords campaigns, that's for sure. It will drive up the keyword prices.
Well I am getting better CTR now with some increase in Earnings but niche is strong so I don't think so that I earn less! If this really help us to earn money then good for us but I doubt on their CPC which surly lower then Google Adsense!
it'll be interesting to see how this pans out...anyone think google will be paying out less, more, or the same?
I got that same email and just so happens that that same day my adsense revenue went up 500%. I checked to see if that change had effected my account and the new tab was there (it could have been there before, i just didn't look to find it before then). My revenue has never been that high. Was it just a small glitch or does it have something to do with this new change? I don't know. The past two pays has been normal and i'm still hoping that 500% increase will repeat itself!
I don't know about anyone else, but I love it. More publisher links = higher PPC + higher CTR = More $$$ for me.
I switched the option off for the last 6 hours and my AdSense revenue stayed the same, I switched the feature on and exactly 20 minutes later my revenue started to increase. Its not a scientific test but I definately think that it may work for the benefit of AdSense publishers!
Thanks for sharing! I see that it will help publishers, but it may hinder small businesses using paid search as lower cost means of advertising. How are advertisers and paid search marketers affected by this move?
My experience seems to be just the opposite of everyone else, my earnings have absolutely shot through the roof. Generally where .20 per click was the norm, I'm now seeing $.90 clicks. Bring it on, but I have yet to notice an actual difference in ads being displayed.
