You ever see ads where if you click outside of them, it still goes to the link?

    The ads don't seem to extend further than they should on my computer (I'm using FF)

    yes they do. They don't show to be clickable, but if you click it goes to the site.
    I am using firefox 2.0 and was about to say the same thing until I clicked and went to a geico ad.

    They're probably a premium publisher so that their code is different from ours... :)

    Its not adsense.

    I think the blank link area has something to do with this code:

    Lol - I've seen at least 3 other people with avatars like this. I wish the owner of the directory good luck (I bought a listing myself) :)

    It does appear to be a premium publisher...but clever method there.

    fox news has ads like that as well,...and honestly its so cheap. obviously the user didnt intend to click on the ad if they clicked on the white space instead,..so this is just a way to get better ctr.

    good for the webmaster. but makes me angry when i dont click on the link and they still get money.

    guess im just jealous ;P

    but you knwo what i mean.
