Hmm. I thought this was against the rules?

    www.gizmodo.com - great site and resource, but look down the page in the sponsored links. Those seem to be Google ads, but it doesn't have the Ads by Google or whatever text. I thought that was required?

    They are probably a premium publisher. They get more options.

    They are a premium publisher. When you have 20 million page views per month, or 5 million searches (and some of these requirements are lowered for other languages and countries) you are eligible for the Premium Publisher program from Google AdSense which provides the following benefits:

    - Google sales representative and account manager
    - Flexible ad formats
    - Advanced filtering
    - Optimization assistance
    - Additional monetization options
    - Enhanced technical support

    Cool. I knew they were the biggest gadget blog, and I knew about Premium Publisher. I just didn't know it was allowed to remove that Ads by Google text.

    LOL, is that an invitation to click the ads just to prove a point? HEHE

    *think of 100s DP members suddenly clicking ads on Gizmodo*
