dear Darren, can you tell us if you had your own trick how to write a letter/email to Google staff and then Google Staff will respond our email soon. at least we got the email replies in 3 or 7 days later.

Sometimes Adsense can be so frustrating. Im amazed they moved this fast. I for one am venturing out to test new products and services such as PPP. You can view this on our web site as the launch is pending Feb 1st.

Darren,

Great! Can you write them a letter asking them to re-think manually reducing PR on blogs too?

This is an even worse solution than kicking us out of the program entirely.

Now, people will still be tempted to use adsense referrals, yet many people will get paid NOTHING for sending Google perfectly good traffic which results in sign-ups.

Just goes to show, if you don’t ask, you don’t get. This is a better outcome.

But I’m wondering why adSense have such a downer on Europe and if there is any connection to the fact that the EU is investigating their takeover of DoubleClick. Maybe we’re going to see a seperate AdSense network for Europe that pays in Euros?

That would attract more European publishers as the value of the dollar has dropped so much that it really affects revenue.

@missy

If you think they stripped you because of some error that has been fixed, you can write your own plea.

Nice to see that Adsense looked on Google maps and found Australia to be there after all!

This is still BS!

So if I refer my (Australian) next door neighbour, and he goes on to make one million dollars a month from AdSense, I get nothing, yet if I refer someone from the US, and they scratch out $100 a month, I get paid?

That’s a freaking joke! :-(

I’m surprised they actually scraped the whole program at the beginning instead of doing this…

OK you got what you wanted but I would have more respect for you if you had just manned up instead of this wussy stuff. You do like women don’t you?

Well done Darren – it looks like your letter worked. I didn’t think you’d go as far as painting your wall for them though. I hope they are grateful.

I am glad you and adsense could make friends again. I know its not the same but its the bond that matters.

Dear AdSense, while you are at it, please talk to you father Google. Make him improve overnight my PR so I can get those 1 million visitors I have in mind a little faster.

Seriously now I am surprised they listen. Or should I be surprised they haven’t taken into consideration that solution from the beginning!

Congrats Darren,
It’s nice to see the two of you back together again. You were always good together.

This is at least 4 times more heart tugging than the Ross and Rachel debacle.

Jeez! Maybe you can write another letter to Adsense but this time on behalf of my blog. They stripped the PR 4 it had, and i want it back.

Since you seem to have such awesome powers!
