    Hi all,

    Did any of you saw this ?

    Google highlighting Ads on its search page with such a BIG Checkout Logo ?

    will it not be very attractive for a visitor to click on the AD ?

    I guess Google Needs all Ad words Publishers to use Checkout ( spend and process Huge amount of money ) so that they can Promote it for Free !

    Also Google wants all ads to be Clicked

    for ease i Have added here :

    Green rep Appreciated :D

    that is something new they have started, before it was a small black shopping cart.

    I guees they want more people to click on that.

    Are they not violating their own TOS, image next to text :)

    I think it draws attention. And anyone that clicks knows that they will have to pay removing all the clicks that never intend to buy.

    Actually Premium Publishers have had different rules from the beggining (And I am pretty sure Google qualifies as a Premium Publisher :D )

    I've seen the nasty little black shopping cart a lot recently, but that is a new development and certainly attractive to the adsense 'clicker' ... hopefully an increase to CTR ... we'll wait and see.
