Google Revenue Doubles; Is AdSense Program Coming to an End?

April 19th, 2006 Google added a new product to their referrals feature - Google AdWords. You will earn $20 when an advertiser you refer spends at least $100 within 90 days of signing up.

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.

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.

November 22nd, 2005 I am very curious to know if anyone had any luck (signups or revenue) with Google AdSense Referral program launched recently for public. I am aware that it was launched for selected few publishers previously.

January 7th, 2008 In response to Google AdSense teams resolutions for us here are 5 AdSense resolutions I have taken for 2008 wrt. AdSense: 1.

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.

April 8th, 2009 On a rather unceremonious way, Google has increased the Competitive link Filter for Google Adsense to 500. They haven't gone official about it as yet.

March 23rd, 2007 Strangely the most obvious means to reset Google AdSense password may not work for you. By obvious I mean the link on AdSense login page: I cannot access my account.

March 7th, 2009 Yesterday, for around 10 hours, Google AdSense served less relevant contextually-targeted ads instead of regular context sensitive ads, thereby lowering revenue for many sites for the day. Unfortunately Google will not be adjusting it manually to compensate you for the loss either.

July 9th, 2007 It appears Google is heavily compensating for my increased traffic with significantly lower eCPM these days. It is about 60% of what it was a month or two back.

September 3rd, 2008 I don't get Google AdSense. Last year with great fanfare they announced making the text of the ad non-linkable while keeping the title and URL linkable.

November 14th, 2005 Weblogs Inc. is now profiled by Google as one of AdSense success stories along with Camcorderinfo.com and Askthebuilder.com.

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.

May 23rd, 2006 Google Inc. will begin distributing online video ads later this week, diversifying beyond the static text ad messages that generate most of its profits today. Video ads, announced late Monday, will affect thousands of Web sites that rely on Google AdSense to post contextual ads on a web page.

November 4th, 2005 Google has silently added an option to display referral links (with images) in your blog or web sites. If anyone referred by you earns 100$ or more then Google credits your account with 100$.
