Funny Adsense Ad on YouTUBE...

Didn't know they also ADVERTISED with google adwords.
Crazy.

 

and they are themselves when the visitors click their own ads.

 

Lol thats funny! Its also weird :s. They are so big why would they need to advertise with adwords?

- Prilep

 

I wonder if they get banned if they click their own youtube adsense ad on their own site.

 

maybe they are experimenting how much they would get from adsense.

 

It doesn't have to be YouTube. As you know, advertisers can select what url to show and what url the visitor will visit. It doesn't have to be YouTube just because it says youtube.com.

 

True.

 

Interesting. Every click will just mean a loss of money to google.

 

Advertisers have to use the same base domain now, they can't display www.site.com but send people to www.example.com. This was changed a couple of years ago, but there were plenty of advertisers who took advantage of this when you could

 

I would of thought they would have filtered their own domain...

 

lol, some nice money down the drain.

 

Ohh guys, why you read only first post in thread.

 

I think it is bug in adsense that sometime i see ad of a website on same website. I have reported it to adsense team 2 times but they have not yet worked on this bug.

Now i put my url in adsense filter.

 

Interesting arbitrage technique. SIKE!

 

It's actually not a bug, there are some advertisers that want this to happen, especially those enormous sites (think something like iVillage with so many related and unrelated sections on it). Both advertisers and publishers can block their ads from appearing on their site tho.
