Really subtle, but given that the AdSense revenues are now a measly $2 per day I'm removing them for everyone except for guests coming from search engines.
The basic logic is: They're not worth much, and if I'm going to pollute the site with adverts I'd rather have them targeted at those who are both most likely to click them (they are searching for something, and contextual adverts might have the answer), and who aren't reading the site daily (it would annoy them more).
I doubt this would make any reduction on the $2 per day... I suspect it will just retain that revenue but reduce the number of advert impressions... this is good, we're only paid for clicks and not impressions.
