Stu (1 comment), just dug your comment out of Akismet again. What have you been up to?! I wonder if I can just get your comments to completely bypass it…nnAnyway, you're right, it will affect those after the accidental clicks, but even then, most people will still click the title as that's usually the link coloured part (depending on the ad colours of course).nnLuckily this month we just made the $100 threshold. I can't see us managing next month however.

Removing AdSense will usually have a negative effect on your earnings! nnI reckon a lot of people who are clicking those ads would still be clicking the title or link anyway, which are the areas that are still linked. However it would be interesting to know id someone who earns a fair amount from AdSense has noticed much difference. Afterall, the more you earn the more you have to lose.

Sarah, I noticed a small drop on my main blog, because I completely removed it! haha… but my other product based blogs/sites haven't had a discernable drop at all.nnI figure that the majority of people that click on those ads do so with either a. no knowledge that it's not your website or b. something caught their eye. Accidental clicks are few and far between.

Sara, we'll be lucky if we hit the $100 threshold on Dave's account that a few months ago was almost hitting $200 a month.

Sarah, I think the people who will be most affected by this are the people who have their sites laid out in a way as to attract a lot of "accidental" clicks.
