Landing page load time now affects keywords’ Quality Scores
Google designs its products with user experience as the number one priority. Early in Google’s history, our founders, Larry and Sergey, articulated this philosophy in Ten things Google has found to be true. One of these principles is "Fast is better than slow." We’ve found this rule to be especially applicable to the landing pages of AdWords ads. When a user clicks an ad, a landing page that loads quickly provides a better user experience than a landing page that loads slowly.

Make the move now to Google Accounts
As you may remember, we started asking publishers to update your AdSense accounts to Google Accounts last May. When you do that, you can manage all of your Google products using one login and password, and also take advantage of new features like Site Authentication and the recently improved AdSense for search.
In the next few weeks, we’ll soon be requiring all publishers to update to a Google Account. If you haven’t yet updated your account, we recommend doing so as soon as possible to avoid any issues with account access later. Just sign in follow the instructions in the wizard that will automatically appear. If you don’t see the wizard, it means that your info has already moved to Google Accounts.

While the policies are generally the same for referrals as for standard AdSense for content ad units, there are a few minor differences.
