November 16th, 2007Google AdSense - No more pay for accidental clicks!
Hi guys,
I am back after a while, and that too with a bad news for you all.
Bad news? Well, yes. More so if you are a blogger or a webmaster who used to be jumping for joy each time google sent you the fat pay for the AdSense clicks on your site/blog.
Confused? Ok, here is what the big G has decided…
ACCIDENTAL CLICKS ON ADSENSE WONT BE PAID ANYMORE!!
Not sure what do I mean? Read what Google says,
“we’ve just changed our text ads slightly to help reduce accidental clicks. In the past, users could click on both the background and full text of an ad, but now they can click only on the title and URL of a text ad. By allowing users to click only on the ad title and URL, we aim to decrease accidental clicks, better aligning visitor behavior with their intent. Overall, the decrease in accidental clicks will keep users on your website, interacting your content, until they intend to click on an ad.”
The image should have made it clear for you by now. There are people on the web who make a living out of AdSense only. This step would be a serious jolt for them.What do you feel, is it a good move by G or something that would seriously put back publishers and help only the advertisers.Here is what others are saying on this move,

Keep thinkin’. Until then, sayonara!

Thanks for this info Anand.
Well this has both good and bad effect. In simple terms, sometimes we have missed some visitors unknowingly. They accidentally clicked on the ads and moved to some other site. In return it may or may not have fetched us with a good $## amount. Again those who are not so savvy may not be able to find where to click in order to go to the ad page. So we miss some $## here too.
