    Was making a good income from Google Adwords for months. Now they are changing all the rules (for the last several months) ... I am in no way saying I do not understand their need to clean up the PPC system, just wondering who else has seen their income crash?

    Yes, it does. After the change you may gain or lose some spots.

    Hi Micromag,

    I'm guessing glenv's troubles began around December 2005, when quality scoring of landing pages began.

    (Things will soon get worse for pages with lower quality scores following G's recent announcement which you made a post about. :) )

    I think its been said before and it still applies. You shouldn't rely on only one source of traffic for your business. Especially since that source is a so ever fluctuating source as search engines.
    In your case this could've been easily fixed though, I don't think the landing page rules are so harsh that you can't apply them to your site.
