So what are your feelings about AdSense this year? Everyone happy with the way things are going? I visit a bunch of forums and I notice 3 kinds of people: 1) Those who think they're being ripped off by Google 2) Those who call those in item 1 whiners 3) Those who love Google no matter what happens So what's the consensus over here? Are you in one of the extremes above? Do you think everything is normal with AdSense this year? Do you think NOTHING is normal? My own position: I've been earning 40 to 60% less. I realise there is a crisis, but I also think something else was changed, I honestly don't like how things are right now but I have not reached any conclusions. I know for a fact that: 1) Click area was reduced 2) Click values are very low(many forum members across the WWW reporting this) 3) All this happened suddenly, it was NOT a progressive thing with the crisis... So I'd like to hear your thoughts. Preferrably putting politics aside, just technical views and our honest feelings: are you still confident in AdSense after this first half of 2009?
