It clearly shows that Google's quality algorithm cost them quite a few advertisers since July, but that they bounced back in Q1 (at Yahoo's expense). This seems to support the idea that earnings will be up. http://www.adgooroo.com/google_gains_advertiser_share.php These guys normally know what they are talking about, so we will see… AdGooroo just released their quarterly research report on Google and Yahoo.

As you say, Google reduced the clickable area on ads to reduce 'accidental clicks', and as such conversion rate % should have improved. Less wastage on media spend (or cost of sale, if you account for it that way). With the recent decision to allow companies to bid on competitor trademarks keyword costs will only rise. I've asked a bunch of agency people whether Adwords is plateauing and the collective answer is a definite 'No'. Not sure the same can be said of Adsense. c. Good analysis MG.
