    I came across this Adsense ad on a site. I thought it was a clever way to get people to click.

    (1) New Message. <- Clever.

    im somewhat incredulous there are actually people who would click that, but then again look at all those 419 scams.

    Not sure but I think it is against google TOS.

    You saw this ad on which site?

    It showed up on a Squidoo page. I don't know why. It had nothing to do with the content.

    I just copied the text and made it look like the same colors. There is no link.

    That's many violations there, I don't think google allows '!' & '?' in the ad, plus the (1) in the message. I got emailed once with a similar adwords ad and asked me to change it.

    It is a brilliant marketing ploy, if it actually stood up to the Adwords TOS.
    I've been duped a few times by similar ads on sites where I expect to receive messages......only for a second, but that's all it takes to click.
