Google Changes it’s Notification emails

I actually never got any notification.. Is that just for the people who actually make money with Adsense? Adsense paid me like 200 bucks out of five years.

Dear Publisher,

We are writing to let you know that we’ve changed the options for which kinds of emails you can receive from AdSense. In addition to our existing newsletter and survey categories, we’ve added three new categories to help you make the most of your AdSense account.

If you choose to opt in to all five categories, you’ll be eligible to receive personalized help from AdSense specialists, event invitations, beta test offers, and giveaways from AdSense and other Google products. The updated categories are:

*Customized help and performance suggestions*
Receive suggestions from members of the AdSense team for changes you can make to improve performance and earn more from your site.

*Newsletters*
Receive newsletters with optimization tips, best practices, and other information to help you get the most out of your Google AdSense account.

*Google market research*
Receive invitations to test new features, surveys about Google AdSense, and opportunities to provide feedback about your experiences.

*Special offers*
Receive news about AdSense promotions, events, and giveaways.

*Information about other Google products and services which may be of interest to you*
Receive news and special offers from other Google products such as coupons from Google AdWords and other offers we think will benefit you.

If you’re already opted in to receive newsletters and surveys, we’ll automatically update your preferences to the new newsletter and market research categories.

To opt in to the new email categories or opt out of your existing categories, just sign in to your AdSense account. You’ll be presented with instructions to take advantage of this new opportunity.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team
