    Was surfing around and found this page:http://www.livedeal.com/search?browse=1&category=2222&zip=14094&currentPage=16 and found it really interesting the way the Google Ads was displayed. They don't look like Google Ads at all, more link ordinary links, and I thought that thay had dome something wrong displaying ads that would "fool" visitors to click on the "links"

    I email google and told then that I wanted ads like that too, and actually got a reply saying that this is a new format they are testing for a "very limited number of customers"

    Guess thay are making tons of money from their ads:eek:

    Interesting new format. I can see that as being fairly easy to blend in as well. The actual content on that page is a bit lacking though isnt it.

    that certainly is an adformat to fool people
    more like an official google sanctioned MFA ad-format

    money makes the rules ...

    :eek: so many google ads! :eek:

    A look at the source code of the website shows a different kind of adsense code. Or maybe as you mentioned.. its still in the testing phase, maybe thats why they've made the code look so complicated :confused:

    They gotta be premium publishers. Nobody else can be a BETA tester for new formats. I can just imagine how much they make from the ads. Like someone said, on that particular page, the only thing there is are ads... worst MFA site/page I've seen. Maybe we should report it :)
