Their rates are dirt cheap and as you say, they are extremely suspicious of anything out of the ordinary (meaning more than 2-3 clicks per day). Ridiculous. I too gave up on Google Adsense.

It'll really leave you wasting time in the subsequent exchanges. If it's for constructive discussions, great. But I'm sure your time is better spent elsewhere, like your other blogs! :) Anyway, I'm learning quite a bit here. Need more time to explore! Great stuff, HMTKSteve!

Often is irelevant to content but that can be explained also thru an complicated algorithm of what to show (on publisher side) based on both content and also some more parameters - traffic, rank, age, clicks/impressions rate etc.. Anyway, I see the adsense on my blog using a third party pc (IP), while in my site is running a small php avoiding to show me (on pcs I use) adsense ads - to avoid the risk of unwanted - "ilegal" clicks :-P Yet, despite adsense account have barelly few bucks and despite low price I asked to replace that space with a direct ad, I only got offers from unwanted advertisers (gaming, adult), there for, I don`t see it dead, buy hopefully will "die" soon :-) Me also I plan to get rid off adsense on my blog area.

How the hell do you think Google will allow a multi-BILLION dollar program to demise? Use common sense people. Adsense is still near it's birth, if anything. If you're struggling to make money online, it's YOUR FAULT. Not the advertisers. To anyone who thinks Adsense is dead or dieing:

I use this site as a staging area for other blogs. Once a category of content becomes popular enough I split it off into a new blog, hence my low traffic numbers and what not.

I have not seen anyone mentioning it (although I am still new to blogging), but it worries me that if -my- blog starts getting more traffic, and more clicks, Google would not have any qualms about discounting any such clicks, just because they cannot fathom that a new site might have sudden surges of traffic! Great site here - came over after seeing your exchange with Sitefever.com. :) Your points got me thinking there.
