    Check out this article from 2004:

  6. Misleading Summary by michaelhood · · Score: 5, Informative · on Google Upgrades AdSense

    This is quite possibly the worst summary I've ever seen.
    Fallacies:

    1. This affects AdWords advertisers whose ads are *published* on the AdSense network. Not AdSense publishers. At all.

    2. Image creatives have been an option in our AdWords accounts for at least 6 months. You see them on some AdSense publishers already, you just don't know it.

    The real news here is the following:
    1. Google is *bringing back* (they had it years ago) cost-per-impression advertising. However, this comes with improvements. I won't spam, see references. (R1)

    2. Google is going to finally allow AdWords advertisers to decide what content network sites their ads are published on. (R1) Now we can decide NOT to place our ads on shady sites and fall victim to click fraud.

    On the real news item #1, this is of huge interest because Google is allowing some "creepage" back to the CPM (cost-per-mil impressions) model. This seems to indicate that they're finally recognizing that click fraud is a *huge* problem. To the tune of it being estimated 15-20% clicks in competitive CPC (cost-per-click) markets on Google might be fraudulent. (R2)
