This is most probably the reason why this fact has not jet been discussed in Affiliate Forums and less important for Affiliate Marketers then as for SEO guy's. On the other hand we all do have as well Websites which are made for natural listings and who have Adsense and the Google search tool on it. There we will face the same problem as authority sites such as the New York Times etc. , even if our site is not near as big. So once again the question : what is the goal from big G. with this ? Here, in this particular situation, I just can see one reason - new, additional Adwords revenue for Google as it is as well for Google more difficult to increase revenue, or to keep it up due to losses from fewer users. It's just very sad that Google sees the users of the search tool as their main customer, and all others who actually pay the bill, are getting more and more devalued. Perhaps this opens space for a "NEW Google" in the future, who knows. Before the Google area we all though that nothing can be better then Yahoo and MSN. But perhaps something can be better then all the 3 together !?

I'd never heard of the UK blog, Revenue Addict before. I'll head over there and read it now. Good to know. Thanks for the heads up! Hi Eric,

I thought I had almost every major affiliate marketing blog in my feedreader and I had not seen it mentioned on any of those.

I’d never heard of the UK blog, Revenue Addict before. I’ll head over there and read it now. Good to know. Thanks for the heads up!
