   It's just adsense playing with the format of their ads, but on which we have no control over.
   
   This is something they do on their own and test, but we never hear about it, only discover it and have to accept it, like when they've changed the format of text ads in 728x90 ads..
   
   It doesn't matter because we know we can't do anything about it, so no need to worry about it.

     Waqar may be right because my arrows are still intact. Laure, you are referring to the link units, right?

       No WalterPoon ,i'm refering to the big arrows that come with text ad units (not the new little ones in the link unites ,no problem concerning those ).

     Hi Laure, I got it... yes, I have those arrows but I find them kind of ugly. Looks so factory-like when you have many of them in one page. (Kind of funny I never thought of those as arrows!
     
     I thought you were referring to those in the link units, also shown in the below display.)

     Hi Laure, you are right. Since December last year, my Adsense revenue has increased but I didn't know that it was due to the arrows. Honestly, I was amazed that it jumped so much! You may find this thread interesting.
