Google Adds Referral Earning to AdSense; Changes Terms of Service

March 16th, 2006 Google AdSense support team wants you to share your story as a publisher. It wants to know about your AdSense experiences - How did you learn about the product? Why was AdSense of interest to you? What features do you use? How satisfied are you with AdSense? How has the way you use AdSense changed over time? How do you make your AdSense earnings work for you? Do you use other Google products to help your business? It appears to want to know only the positive aspects of your AdSense experience.

November 22nd, 2005 I reported previously that Google is about to unveil a new program that lets publishers of AdSense partner Web sites sign up advertisers on their own. It is already operational and it has opted you in (if you are AdSense publisher) by default.

August 29th, 2008 I had Google AdSense running on Health Care blog for a long time. What I didn't notice was that it wasn't making any revenue despite the traffic, and displaying AdSense ads.

October 24th, 2005 Advertising from Google and its network partners sites displaying its ads accounted for most of the company's earnings. Google posted revenues of $1.578 billion for the quarter ending September 30, 2005, up 96% from the third quarter of 2004.

March 2nd, 2006 Nowadays I see irrelevant Google AdSense ads much more than usual and they are often pretty outrageous. Here is a glaring example (click on image for larger view): I think it is trying to over-optimize or simply running out of ads.

April 19th, 2006 Google AdSense competitive ad filter is an excellent way to provide better advertisements and deter MFA's. One of the grievances for big publishers was the small number of filters you could set per account, merely 200.
