Google Search Box Reduce CTR

I’ve been toying around with Google Adsense Search on my other blogs and concluded that by using Google Search, a blog’s Google Adsense CTR could be greatly reduced by 1%, I’ve done some experiment for the past few months between February and April, and the blog that I experimented on has a drop of in CTR for that month which translate into a drop of earning in term of dollars, for your information, traffic to my blog increases every month.
The CTR went back normal again when I remove the Google Search Box, my best guess would be the possiblity a visitor exit my blog by searching something with the Google Search Box, where else if there is no Google Search Box, the visitors are much more likely to exit my blog my clicking on one of the external links. I’ll re-introduce the Google Search Box again in my other blog and will see how it performance again this coming month, hopefully my theory is right.
New Google Adsense Login Page

Here is a sneak peak of the soon to be Google Adsense login page, I love the new layout, it is so clean and neat and informative, unlike the previous login screen which is kind of boring. Well, I am so used to the old login screen and I guess I need a little bit more time to adapt myself to this new layout. Could this possibly be the default layout for all Google Services? Gmail? Google Doc and others? Time will tell. Screenshot by me :)
