I have got a message from Adsense team: Hello, Thank you for participating in the AdSense Referrals program. We’re writing to let you know that we will be retiring the AdSense Referrals program during the last week of August. We appreciate your patience during this transition and here are some alternative options to consider: * AdSense for content ads: If you have less than three AdSense for content ad units on a page, you may wish to replace the referral ad units with standard AFC ad units. If you currently use referral ads, either to promote Google products or offerings from AdWords advertisers, AdSense Referrals code will no longer display ads beginning the last week of August. We encourage you to take the following steps before the product is retired: * Remove the referral code from your site(s): Please take a moment to remove all referral code from your sites before the last week of August, so you can continue to effectively monetize your ad space. Why is this happening? We're constantly looking for ways to improve AdSense by developing and supporting features which drive the best monetization results for our publishers. Sometimes, this requires retiring existing features so we can focus our efforts on the ones that will be most effective in the long term. For this reason, we will be retiring the AdSense Referrals program. If you have any additional questions, please visit our Help Center: The Google AdSense Team What this mean and whats its effect?? What Google have provided in place of Adsense?
This is getting to be redundant and I don't understand why people knows how to use forum, how to read, and even knows how to copy and paste yet cannot understand the simplest message...
There seems to be a misunderstanding: they are not retiring AdSense they are just retiring a certain type of ad. They will continue to offer pay per click ads, but no more referral ads. So you will have to change the referral code in your pages with pay per click ads.
I dont understand why people dont answer properly? Why they try to show.... If they know then answer properly otherwise no need to comment..
