It's still a little early for April Fools here in the states. I thought you were on Pacific time now ;)

I even played an April fools joke on my girlfriend at 8:00am this morning before being fooled by this hook line and sinker. Nice!

Vinny, I thought for sure Google was turning into the friendly search engine. Good joke though. Although if I were you, I would be ducking my head next year. Chances are your going to get wallupped.

OMG! Vinny you SOB!!! I was freaking out...checking my campaigns. I was calling my clients to tell them, and I was saying I hadn't seen any change yet in my campaigns but it could take a few days. Now I've got to tell them I was a victim of an elaborate April fools day joke.
What are we in 3rd grade!!!???
Good one though. You got me big time!!!

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Spread the word and watch the panic for the rest of today anyways! :-) This has been great fun! I'm glad everyone can sit back and have a good laugh on April Fools day! I'm going to find it hard to top this one next year!!

If only it wasn't April Folls...
It would have been nice to see wether google would also pay the adsense publishers on a pay-per-impression basis.
