Why on earth would Google stop something that is making them gazillions of dollars?? It's just a rumour.
They just stopped Adsense for one of their big(ish) publishers and have not stopped the service altogether.
Because there are a lot of publishers maybe they make the system more profitable for them. But to stop adsense I don't think.
Adsense will be only available for North America, Latin America, and Japan Read More at http://adsense.blogspot.com/2008/01/upcoming-referrals-changes.html
That sounds like the biggest heap of cow pat I've ever heard. Ad sense is a primary source of income for google. Take it away and what do you get? High probability for a new book entitled "The Death of Google". Silas2 is absolutely right. Don't spread rumors. If it is actually something you read include the link or scan the paper, this way people don't think you're trying to spread rumors. ~Dixir
Friends they have just changed some plans in the referrals, that is what it is all about. There is no information that they are going to stop it.
It is their biggest money maker, why on earth would you think they would stop it? If anything, they will continue to expand their advertising network to make more money.
absolute BS. why in the world they would stop that? where did you read that anyway? IF you realy read it somewhere, then you should have included the link to that source
so i have read the article about this issue.. i think publisher ads will not be affected only the referral so nothing to worry. since majority doesn't use referral system most of the time.
