Jensense
Jensense is another site/blog you should be checking out on a regular basis if you are trying to make money from your website - especially if you are using Google's AdSenes program. The site has grown up a lot of the last couple of years and Jen has branched out and seems to be doing more consulting/speaking than writing, but she is pretty authoritative in this field. This latest story from Google that she covered is a big deal:
Google AdSense disabling arbitrage publisher accounts as of June 1stNumerous AdSense publishers have been receiving emails from Google the past couple of days stating that their use of their AdSense account is an unsuitable business model and that accounts would be disabled as of June 1st, giving publishers about two weeks notice to prepare for the loss of the AdSense accounts... and since it seems that arbitrage publishers are the ones receiving this account disabled email, to give those publisher enough time to shut down accounts or use an alternative source for their outgoing traffic.
Click here for the whole story. Hopefully for content sites like ours her hypothesis is right and Google's current actions eventually bring more money back to the content network.
