What kind of google ad is this?

http://classiccars.com/Classifieds/Listing.aspx?listingId=105697&cs=11

In the middle of the page you will see in the standard blue link color, "Finance this vehicle", "Insure this vehicle", and "Get a FREE shipping Quote". The text links go through googleads.g.doubleclick.net, but I have never seen anything like this before.

 

I haven't seen this kind of thing either. Even the Premium Publishers has some kind of identification that these are Google Ads. This is completely blind. Here is what the code behind the page looks like:


<td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top">
<script type="text/javascript">
GA_googleFillSlot("CC_Financing_VehicleListing_Text");
</script>
<br />
<script type="text/javascript">
GA_googleFillSlot("CC_Escrow_VehicleListing_Text");
</script>
</td>

</tr>
</table>

</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>

 

I've never seen it either, it looks like you could use if as an inline text advertisement, though.

 

I saw it before but i didn't know anything about it

 

really strange !! any gurus here might help

 

I signed up for the google affiliate network thinking that's what was being used here, but none of those companies are affiliates in that program. I'm writing to the big '"g" to see if they will tell me.

 

Ok now I'm really confused. I just went to check the page again, and all the links are gone. They don't show up on any page now. Weird.

 

I would guess they are premium publisher ads, and the publisher has neglected to state they are "Ads by Google".

 

I don't think they are premium publisher and somehow they are not showing "Ads by Google", either they are blending it more using their own javascript on the top of it or that is something for mobile ads or some they are using it on web (Just my Guess).

 

This way or the other. Something is going real fishy here !

 

My guess is that they were taken down because they did not meet the google TOS to whatever program it was.

 

looks like a Premium Publisher to me

 

Hmmm seems interesting, the ad is directly targeting the website

 

lol Internet Bugg on the site

 

I would say not a Premium Publisher. My take: fraud.

Even this guy, who is one of the hugest Premiums around, all has ads identified as GoogleAds... http://www.askthebuilder.com/Kitchen.shtml

 

Never seen that situation occur before, but I would assume, like a few others, that they just decided not to disclose that they are Google Ads. Might be why they disappeared so quickly. I don't think G takes nicely to people who openly and blatantly break their rules.

 

It's odd, the ads are still there but disappear maybe once every 10 times I check. I wonder if it is a "throttling" issue? Pulling that data is blocked when there is heavy traffic? Doesn't make much sense for text links though.

I found this site when sifting through google's other advertising options. Google never responded to my email request, but I wonder if it is this program? http://www.doubleclick.com/products/dfp/index.aspx

Maybe the moderator who gave me an infraction (Running Up Post Count/Post Has No Value) for this post can help since it was deemed to have no value? Do you know something I don't here, because after a week I am still looking for an answer.

 

i think he is google premium publisher or Doubleclick publisher

 

That Ads are from Google affiliate network..

 

It's not an affiliate network link, I already belong to the GAN and none of those advertisers are on there. I'm looking into the dobleclick program now.
