Have your Adsense referral earnings been a bit sluggish lately? Well, there’s a good reason for this…Google Adsense has placed a temporary restriction on referral earnings while Google checks the validity of click and referral data generated from Adsense ads. Google has not commented on when the validation period will end, but stated that publisher’s earnings will return to normal once they have passed validation.

This seems like a logical position Google has taken considering the immense amount of click fraud lately, however it’s uncertain as to why Google is only placing a restriction on “Refferal Ads” as opposed to regular Google Adsense units. It would be my guess that regular ads sense ads are next to come on the chopping block.

Since the validation is not being carried out simultaneously, this could result in big losses for high end publishers. In the end, I see this as a positive move on Google’s part. Weeding out the rogue advertisers will only strengthen the ad network and put more $$ per click in your pocket as the publisher.
