Adsense agreement is a joke and a disgrace.

No doubt I'm wrong in this case, but I read these kinds of responses as "for a while I made an absurdly large amount of money with Adsense, and now I don't".

That's because the PPC market has stabilized, there was a bit of a bubble there for a while.

Knowing the exact payment calculations is not going to bring back your lost earnings.

I'm not sure Google is as much an advertising monopoly as it is an *easy* advertising monopoly.

Good point. And in fact there are quite a few other easy options, they just don't pay as well.

But they dont't pay as well transparently!

Note for anyone that switches to one of these options: don't go buy a big house based on those earnings either. ;-)
