It’s been a few days since Google changed the clickability of AdSense ads, and I was wondering what changes (if any) people are seeing?
After a small blip upwards for a day, my CTR (click through rate) across all my sites has settled down to around 1.5%. Before the change, it was around 1.8%, and that was fairly consistent.
Interestingly, my CPM (revenue per thousand page impressions) has stayed fairly constant, which could be an early sign that advertisers are prepared to pay a little more to avoid accidental ad clicks and get better quality traffic.
Has the change affected you? Are you up or down?

1I am a bit surprised that my CTR hasnt really changed at all from the norm. i guess this means that i’ve never gotten many ‘accidental’ or unintentional clicks.
