Problogger Darren Rowse heeft in een open brief (blogpost :-)) gereageerd op de recente wijziging in het Google Adsense partnerprogramma. En wat een geweldige reactie is het geworden. Hij beschrijft het als een love-story, een paar quotes:

"I still remember the time you began to flirt with me. It was in February 2005 when you announced a new product - a ‘referral program’ that offered to publishers like me gifts when they sent a new customer to you."

"At first I was cautious - but when you held me in your arms and whispered sweet promises of what we could be I leapt in. I’m a little ashamed to say it - but we did more than kiss on our first date - I began to send you traffic on that first day - 17 visitors to your site and 1 ‘conversion’ - a small but significant (at least for me) token of my love for you."

"Sure I’ve taken other lovers at times. You might not want to hear it but seeing as we’re being hones, some of them even even were more generous than you in what they offered me - however you were my first love and I’ve always had a special place in my heart for you and so despite your gifts being a little small in the size department I continued to proclaim my love for you."
