Google says : no more Adsense referrals program

According the the Google Adsense Blog :

We’re constantly looking for ways to improve AdSense by developing and supporting features which drive the best monetization results for our publishers. Sometimes, this requires retiring existing features so we can focus our efforts on the ones that will be most effective in the long term. For this reason, we will be retiring the AdSense Referrals program during the last week of August.

Even though it’s sad news for many people, I really do understand the “focus” problem they had. We have to deal with this reality everyday and it causes many headaches…

Bye bye referrals! Now let’s hope the adsense team will be able to use all this extra focus to offer us an even better service!
