Thanks for enlightment. I was in debates about removing adsense from our site and you have just made my decision for me. It will be off there by the end of today. Thanks for the very useful information.

Google flexing their arms of steel again, not sure the comments in reference to Eastern Europe is fair but hey just my view… Spend a lot of time in Poland great people.
Glad I found the blog … keep up the hard work

CzeÅ›Ä‡!

I haven’t been to Poland, Russia or China if the standard of living is so good in Poland how come all the Polish are now in England :)

But I think in any country you have areas of Good living and areas of Bad i’ve lived in many countries and traveled alot! And just didn’t think that such a sweeping statement was relevant.

Anyway I don’t want to be a protagonist :)

Mike there could be some regulatory reasons, but that wouldn’t account for Darren in Australia and all the Europeans who are not in the EU.

Thus the changes seem to me to be based on regional offices.

There would only need to be a partial fluctuation in earnings for Google to identify a growing problem, that if it got out of hand, could affect their bottom line.

Darren the existing referrals thing really worries me. There are tons of sites that spend money on PPC to promote make money with Adsense guides that derive part of their income from Adsense referrals on the back end.

Monkey, I don’t pander to saying things that are politically correct. I live in Poland – as far as I know the general standard of living in Poland is slightly higher than Russia, though in Russia and China there are extreme exceptions and some of the most wealthy people in the world.
How many of the 1 billion people in China have a PC at home and permanent internet connections?

I thought about doing a version of this when the new rates were introduced. Set up 25+ family members with enough websites to earn $100 over a few months, and earn 25×330$ for myself in the process. The only difference would be those sites would have been in their names, and they would have continued to earn a residual income for them.
