    I'm pretty much shaking with anxiety after seeing this. The help page that they link to is titled "Sunsetting Adsense", which sounds pretty awful. It says:




    Has anyone else received this email yet?

    Thanks,
    Heather

    I looked it up on Google. Apparently, only a few people had this message.

    That seems very unlikely, especially since Google never shutdown their services that fast. They usually notice people, like a year in advance before shutting something down.

    Be aware that as around 75% of their ad income comes from content sites such as our Adsense ones then if they close Adsense then google closes so its not happening is it. You don't mention your site URL or if its a blogger Adsense account

    We both have regular hosted sites where we make our living, but he had played around with a free site using Google Sites before. Shutting that down won't affect us.

    I also received this email, but I do not own any Google sites, all my sites are my own, and hosted on my own server.

    As long as they are still offering Adwords, which it sounds like they are, then things should be okay for Adsense publishers. Sounds like they just upgraded Adwords to add new features.
