As an advertiser. I would be concerned with not getting the value in terms of "viable" clicks. Guess some advertisers feel that getting on Google is worth the price even if the click value is dubious. Also, what is with the "formula" Google refers to ? Why don't they just call it what it is, a refund. So, the problem that Google said was not a problem is, in fact a problem. As an advertiser.

I have to say, I have noticed subtle changes to Gmail of late. I am sure some things have changed although I cannot exactly put my finger on anything.

You can still "accidentally" click those ads. Shouldn't this change be across the board? What is rather interesting is that these changes did not take place in Gmail.

If someone really wants to click they still will. Maybe it will cut down on a few accidental clicks, but I'm with Andy in thinking that it won't affect revenue significantly. People will just have to zero in a little more on when they want to click, but I would think most will still click. Seems like a good idea. If someone really wants to click they still will.

I doubt very much this is going to affect revenue to any significant amount, and by making it seem better, it also adds counter FUD to any 3rd party doubt pre-Christmas.

The click throughs that this addresses are not fraud. These click throughs would be called an accident. While I am happy to hear Google is still trying to improve, it is empty. Hey Andy
