Special Characters allow in the Ad?

Are special characters allow anywhere in the Ad?

I see Buy dot com has a little shopping cart in front of their URL. Search "CS50" and you will see character in their ad.

No, unnecessary characters are not allowed and the ad probably will be disaproved as soon they detect it.

Gbuy icons?

Quote:
The Wall Street Journal reports that Google is indeed testing what has been rumored for a long time: a payments system designed to allow consumers to buy things from AdWords. Called GBuy, the service will place little icons next to AdWords that are in the program, and allow searchers to buy products or services right there.

Here's a screenshot of the icon in an AdWords ad:

Also today on Inside AdWords

So if your site uses Google's shopping cart you get a Special icon on your ad?

Yep.

Quote:
Online shoppers often start with a Google search. Our search advertising program, AdWords, helps them find you through targeted text ads that appear beside Google search results. Now you can add the Google Checkout badge to your AdWords ads, which highlights your store and tells potential customers that shopping with you will be convenient and secure.
This is the part I like:

Quote:
For every $1 you spend on AdWords, you can process $10 in sales for free through Google Checkout. For example, if you spent $1,000 on AdWords last month, this month you can process $10,000 in sales at no cost. The more you spend to promote your business through AdWords, the more you save on transaction processing fees with Google Checkout
More info.
