Adwords Keep Moving!

Google keeps moving the top three Adwords placings from the top left to the right every few days at the moment.

They are also varying the top left slots between three, two and one advert.

This is very annoying as it completly alters traffic flow and lead numbers.

As it can only reduce Google Adwords earnings does anybody have any idea why they do it?

I assumed the existence of "Adword Placement Algs" already. If not there would be no mathematical history or threshold as to what generates the most revenue for themselves and their clients.

It would be my guess that these are some very serious algs too. Maybe even more so than SERP placement.... but then maybe what happened this time, was it, that they merged them both together (if they weren't already) in this update?

I think I "know" very little right now.

Mess with natural listings is their business but start upsetting major advertisers and you are really taking a risk...

We spend over $150,000 a month on Adwords and are not very happy. I am sure there are plenty of other who spend more and are equally p*ssed off.

I'm a little guy with a couple sites with a few Adsense boxes on them, one day I make $5 and the next I make $20, earnings are all over the place also...it's kind of a mess.

BUT it is clear, I am getting very little traffic from Google, MSN is paying my hosting fees.
