Noticed this today, for some Adsense ad's Google are displaying this: Ads by Goooooooooooogle example here: boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=001758
Well I guess with everyone doing it from ALLFEEDS, BIDCLIX and everone else putting their tag lines on ads, GOOOOOOOGLE just wants folks to click on that link to sell more ADSENSE.......................
Except it only shows for some sites/pages not all. Without a few more examples of sites displaying multiple ad's on one page there's no way to confirm it that its some sort of flag for Accounts breaking Google's terms for Adsense.
It could also be a test by GOOOOOOOOOGLE to find out if they get more clicks like that for the link (tagline link)
Well it wouldn't be the first time they've made changes to the way Adsense displays (remember Search for [this pages target term] on Google) if it is.
I'm almost positive you can't. at one point when they revised the TOS it didn't say that modifications wouldn't be accepted, though, it just said they have to be pre-approved.. so maybe you could email them and ask, but don't hold your breath.
Ok, so what is the deal with 'Ads by Goooooooooooogle'? I still have not heard any reasons why this is happening and it showed up on a brand new site I did today.
This is what they said about it: "Ads by Goooooogle We're currently running a test with new branding features on Google ads. You may notice some of your pages displaying 'Ads by Goooooogle' ad units. We welcome your feedback on this new look, and we'll be analyzing the results of this test over the next while. "
it is a branding thing Im sure, Google isn't nearly as memorable as Goooooogle, just like the yahoo yodel.
I don't like it... It doesn't look good, and as far as I know we don't get paid if visitors click that link..
