		<description>Try to get in with Viralytics Media.  They may be the best new ad network around.  The customer support really sucks, but they pay good.</description>

		<description>I read somewhere that soon, earnings of publishers will catch up to almost the same (or will be even higher) compared to the times before the change because of these:

1) Due to less clicks, advertisers are now spending less than before. This means that they'll have the money to up the budget by &lt;strong&gt;SPENDING MORE&lt;/strong&gt; on the keywords that they bid.

2) Elimination of accidental clicks will actually drive more advertisers to Google.  Again, &lt;strong&gt;keyword competition can go an all time high&lt;/strong&gt;, thus leading to higher returns for publishers.

And why in the name of Yahoo would you optimize for accidental clicks?  The great idea behind Adsense is that ads are targeted, and you use them on your site because it provides relevant/more information your user might want or need.  Others might disagree with me (mainly because of the quality of some advertisers), but I firmly believe that advertisements, especially Adsense, are meant to be "wantedly" clicked. 

I realized that this is already a post on its own, and I'm doing it over on my site.  Thanks for provoking our thoughts Abe.

See my additional thoughts on this matter.

		<description>I believe that it's just right that accidental clicks are avoided by Google. It would be less of an inconvenience to the users. That also means better metrics of your advertising campaign.

Besides, would you proudly say that 60% of your blog income was by accident? If you received/found money by accident, would you return it to the rightful owner?

Moderate the greed nga daw.</description>
