[...] there has been numerous reports on a sudden drop on paid clicks. This was caused by Google to reduce the clickable area of the ads last November [...]

This is good for publishers. Advertisers will have more confidence with Adsense because of its actions to minimize accidental clicks which in return will increase advertisement spending towards Adsense.

If publishers rely much of its income through accidental clicks, then you do not have a good monetization model for your website and better change your monetization strategy.

Lord Google has flexed its muscle once more.

Then again it will save me from accidentally clicking on my own ads.

Then again it will make earning from AdSense a lot more difficult.

With this development, I guess we have to redesign or rearrange our ads placement to make it more effective.

Your ads on this blog is one perfect example that it is not yet fully implemented. Yeah, it will surely minimize the incidence of accidental clicks.

Well that will definitely decrease if not remove those accidental clicks (even i myself sometimes fall to those blank spaces, i have to stop my browser from loading). But is it applied on all ads already? I tried hovering my pointer on one of my ads just to see what the clickable areas are.. at first the pointer turns to hand (which means clickable) when placed above the site description & blank spaces, but when i refreshed the page (for a couple of times) it did become unclickable, but it only happened once… hmmm… not yet fully implemented?

Checked and confirmed. But the hand cursor displays throughout the block, just inactive.
