Google Adsense has decided to ditch international referrals all together. I don’t give a crap, and neither should any of the other international publishers. It was making crap for me anyway. Time to ditch their ad blocks on this blog and move on to something better.

I could go on and on and talk about how stupid this move of theirs is, their reasoning behind it, why they probably did it. Frankly, it’s not worth my time, and neither should you let it get to you.

Bottom line: Google Adsense is not the de-facto method to make money online. In this case, I’m obviously saying in context to their referral program, but I can assure you the statement rings true for Adsense in general.

You better make your moves now to using other Non-U.S sources to monetize your blog/site {for those on this side of the ocean}. I predict you can expect them to make even more drastic steps in the future. Don’t be surprised if they start “retiring” international publishers altogether, or showing “You are the 999,999th visitor to this site” ads like Widget Bucks {who, by the way, suck too}
