I'm new to the whole Adwords and PPC game. Anyways I receieved the email from Google about the change on Thursday. Since the email did not indicate a change in date I went ahead and changed my Affiliate status on my Ads and have not had a problem with the ads being rejected nor has Adwords Support sent me another email. My CTR is the same but the Impressions and Clicks have dropped dramatically since I changed my Ads. I'm not sure what Google is up to but something does not seem right. I think Google had an idea and are trying to figure out if its going to work or not. It makes sense what Google is trying to accomplish but the changes will extremely hurt affiliates such as myself (just starting) and deter other from starting.
