Has Google radically changed the rules of the game for Adwords? I`ll be the first to say I don`t know exactly what`s happening, but early reports lead me to think they`re targeting advertisers who are running lead generation web sites...with massive rate increases.

read the comments, phew....

I stopped using adwords long ago

I think "the" middle man will become less needed as more websites like text-link-ads.com and adbrite appear on the web to provide grounds for advertisers and publishers to hold business. From my own experience with Adwords, I haven't found it to be very effective at all.

I tried adword with a free voucher I had - it was not very good, hardly anybody who clicked actually viewed more that one page on the site, and the price was too high.

Yeah, I also used a voucher for Adwords. I remember getting somewhere around 70,000 impressions and only 36 clicks for tutorial related keywords.
