As John Chow correctly reported earlier this week, Google have were planning to make a fundamental change to the way their Adsense ads are clicked. Well now they have.
As you can see from the diagram Google have reduced the clickable area from the whole ad, to just the Title and the URL. This, they say, will help prevent accidental clicks.
Of course what it will do is reduce my revenue. I’m already considering ditching Adsense on certain websites, despite the increased revenue I enjoyed recently.
You can read Google’s explanation for this on their official blog.
