What do you guys think about the "call to action" button that appears in Adsense ads now ? Have you seen an increase in earnings since it began ? Do you think it will quickly lead to ad blindness ?

    I love it looks great on my site and funny enough had the best days earnings in a couple of months yesterday and i think its so cool that google is messing around with it shows me google is keen to keep inproving their adsense takings which is great news for me infact i`m starting to make so much progress with adsense its starting to be the only area i work on in my online business which isn`t good after Panda and around last Xmas i lost all my fittness supplement sites which where 80% of my income so i swore i would build a huge Email list so i could give google the boot but my adsense is doing so good i`m buying 2 or 3 articles everyday which is taking me ages to add to my sites

    I love it really i love to see google playing with their adsense codes like this it looks so different helps with ad blindness too i bet

      You are all doomed. You are all like the couple that goes off by themselves in a horror movie in order to enjoy some one on one action even though there have been multiple murders. Great temporary fun but We all know while we are eating popcorn and sipping on some Sprite that they are the next to get killed. The guy will step out of the shadows and Bam!

      You didn't see it coming but we all knew you were going to get the hammer (as long as the black guy is already dead. If he isn't then the camera will switch to him walking through the woods and the killer will get him first THEN your number will be up next - movie law - get the black guy out the way first cause he's harder to film in the night scenes). Too predictable.

      Adsense suckers.......Cutts going to get you all with that evil grin on his face. Your story will be like the 21st in the series. Nightmare on G Street XXI

          Negative I only do narration work like in one of those National Geographic kinds of documentaries filming the feeding habits of the Bengal Tiger. I use a calm deep voice

          "Observe the unsuspecting deer/Adsense user as the Bengal Tiger/Matt Cutts approaches. He is totally unaware of that striped beast/algo update that will end his life/livelihood as he drinks water from the shallow marsh/earns pennies from clicks. The tranquil moment is erased in a second with a blur of controlled fury and graceful gait as a Yukon elk smirks and runs away thinking it could never happen to him. Another day sets and tranquility is restored/some other fool thinks he will get rich with adsense"

            Yeah right, like you would willingly turn down years & years worth of free money, C'mon now, you ain't fooling anyone.

            It's not complicated to keep an Adsense account in good standing, a little common sense goes a long way. Personally I've had no problems with Adsense in 6 years, turning down money on my evergreen niche/sites isn't even realistic. My traffic gets what they want (content), I get what I want (money). Done deal.

              Free money? Shoot never would turn down free money but Willis who you fooling that adsense money is free? From what I see on this board you gots your head in the sand laddie (Bengal tigers will eat ostriches too). People work hard putting up their sites, getting content, link building and most get back pennies. The only good ones out there are people who work real hard building real sites and that aint free.

              Stop trying to fool the poor newbs who are about to get eaten by the Bengal Tiger on your say so. ALl this free money and passive this and that is just setting people up to build made for adsense sites and then flop and fail. People buy this spiel about adsense being passive income like adsense is the only thing out there that gives that and as if it really is passive and as if income is measured in pennies in the adult world. Most people trying adsense out make less money than they would mapping out where all the wishing fountains in the US are and dipping in their hand at night before the mall closes (Pre launch VIdeo of that future WSO is will be available February 30th 2013. Testimonials are already available due to JVs. Thats right we bad. we release the testimonials before the product is even made ) .

              You got to build something first and put in a plan and content to have repeat traffic and that my laddie is not passive - its work. Thing is though plenty of other "work" is more passive down the line. Shucks almost any business can be passive. They call that in many businesses having employees . Besides who said anything about there being a problem keeping adsense accounts in good standing. Ise waz talkin bout rankins laddie. Thanks for the personal history on something that wasn't even being discussed. Noted for possible future reference. ........I guess.

              Meanwhile for all the people believing the "free" garbage - Wait till the next major update for

              Nightmare on G Street XXII
              Movie teaser available early next year.
              but the actual movie is anything but free.

    I think it looks desperate and stupid on the part of Google.

    It appeared right after their stock almost tanked from lost Adwords/Adsense revenue.

    C'mon Google stop making desperate moves!

      I sort of like the arrows.

      What people forget about google, is that they test, test,
      and test. Someone high up decided it should work. But,
      google is just as quick to admit something does not work,
      take it down, instead of it being a cancer.

      So if it doesn't work, it will be gone.

      I too had a pretty decent day yesterday, above average.

      I hope we don't get 1,000 threads on "the arrow." I myself
      looked for one before starting another.

      If it sticks out like a sore thumb, it won't lead to ad blindness. That's the point. To
      deter ad blindness.

    My adsense earnings were up quite a bit yesterday compared to normal days with similar traffic. If Google wants to try something that will increase earnings for them and me, I am all for it.

    How are you going to justify earnings increase/decrease during the busiest time of the year for Adsense?

    I guess it's too soon to say whether it's beneficial or not... With that being said, last days were pretty good earners. Personally, I kinda like the new look.

    Wait and see.

    EDIT: Nevermind - arrows; http://www.seroundtable.com/adsense-...pad-15687.html

    I've only seen them on mobile to be fair.

    This arrow added in adsense ads will increase the click numbers for sure. This arrow will make people this that there is a good resource of information in this link. It will definitely increase the earning of the webmasters too.

      They're ugly. They draw attention away from my pretty blue text ads. If I put an arrow pointing to my ads, I'd get kicked out of adsense.

    To give an update, I might be changing my mind about the arrow. My earnings have gone up, for example yesterday was my best day making over $1000. However I dont know if this is because of the time of year, however the sites I have are not seasonal sites. But this is the first time of the year for these sites, I started them in Feb 2012.
