Here are a couple of threads on a supposed announcment tomorrow.

I think there will be several AM looking for jobs if this happens.

There are tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars that will flow through alternate channels after this change.

These are interesting times that we live in.

I'm seeing a decrease in Adsense revenues (could be seasonal for sure) and I've seen increased activity from one of the pricing comparision type sites to displace Adsense on my site. Not sure if this is related... time will tell.

Bingo. You would have to be a fool to not have seen this coming. If PPC is a big part of your revenue, I am sure you can find a way to make some landing pages :)

"increased activity from one of the pricing comparision type sites to displace Adsense "

As an affiliate program?

Is it contextual?
