    Been getting those "TEST ADS" on my site as well throughout the day. Anyone know what's going on with that?

    Dell is an online business, this is their way of advertising.

    If you want to get rid of it, add some content to your site ;)

    I see them in DP as well. It could be a mistake, i.e., a campaign that has started before it was ready. I haven't done much with AdWords so I dunno if this is possible. Funny though!

    PS: On second thought, it could be a viral campaign that Dell is running; you know, bloggers might start posting about these ads and talking about Dell linking to them.

    if it was an image ad, you have to uplaod the image to googles server when making the ad ,then they have to approve it before it starts.

    i think it is a text ad and they are trying to get more clicks (it doesn't cost them anything for clicks) or to have people on DP talking about them. :p

    haha, I just noticed this today as well.. funniest thing is that they are appearing on a site of mine that has absolutely nothing to do with computers/electronics at all. I'm not too happy about that, it's probably causing me to miss a lot of clicks.
