And interesting read. Here's the last paragraph:
"Its new "enhance campaigns" program forces companies to include mobile ads, it has also threatened to drop search rankings for websites that haven't optimized for mobile. Perhaps, if you're a glass-half-full type, all these efforts plus that emerging market boom will save Google from the mobile ad problem every other tech company has to contend with these days."
My impression is that HP has already optimized for mobile. I hope that's true.
Meanwhile, I'm going to quit ranting about my poor AdSense click payments. Per the article, the whole darned internet is having a tough time.
Here's the full article:

Thanks for posting this - this came up in another thread and I couldn't find the reference.
Google should start penalizing sites that don't provide mobile sites. On my top performing site, around 45% of my traffic comes from mobile/tablets.
As far as dropped adsense revenue, my guess on that is more and more people turning off javascript. That same top site has had almost 60% of it's visitors with no javascript. Not only does that mess up the layout, but it gets rid of ads. I have some non-adesnse ads, so it doesn't have too huge of an effect on me, but when you rely on adsense as your main source of income, that hurts. I wish they would come up with an alternative way of displaying ads.

Hubpages I believe needs to do some more testing to get more clicks on adsense. To me their ctr is absolutly terrible. I believe that they need more add groups along the left side going all the way down the article. Also big box in the upper middle so first thing people see...

With close to 190 hubs I was expecting to make decent money with adsense. But being a newbie to online writing I had not optimized most of my hubs initially. But I would still say that I have about 70-75 hubs which are keyword optimized. I have not got any adsense clicks since 26th November. Even...

I've read no nudity or profane content, but I'm doing a hub related to breasts in a very tactful, tasteful way, not taking from Ms. Snow, either! (Saw the sagging man breast post "stuff"). I would like to put in some pics of just breasts, possibly art, and one side shot of a...
