| I heard they're in the process of integrating a breathalyser test into the ad code as well. After that, it's likely they'll target senior citizens and 3 year olds, who often mistakenly click ads in an attempt to shut down their computers.
And... as AdSense publishers turn and toil in a nightmare they can't awake from, somewhere in a corporate boardroom Larry is holding a lighter to Sergey's asshole, and they're both laughing hysterically.

Kidding aside, the reason why Google keeps pulling out these bottom of the ninth AdSense system changes, is because they're continuously looking for creative ways to cover up the fact that they're taking a larger and larger revenue share from their publishers each quarter. My web traffic is at an all time high, and my AdSense earnings are at a record low. I get 0.01 clicks on ad keywords that I couldn't bid on for less than 0.75 through their AdWords network. The discrepancy between clicks and recorded clicks is becoming larger and larger. I'm developing the opinion that AdSense is about to "dry up" for small and medium size publishers. I have direct advertising to fall back on, but know a lot of long time veteran AdSense publishers that are about to get hit with a Game Over scenario, despite steady traffic volumes.
"SmartPricing", "Don't Be Evil"... someone salt and burn Leonid Brezhnev's bones, because his spirit lives.
