    I am using Google Adsense on my site, and today I just saw new advertisements on my site. These are flash based ads for Speakeasy.

    Because I just had to see if it's google, and not someone hacking my account, I had to click on it (sorry)

    It directed me to here: http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/clickTAG

    Is this a new ad by google? It wasn't labeled, so I was worried.

    Hm, never saw them before, and why did it lead to a 404?

    I was using a third party ad banner rotator (PHPAdsNew), and I wanted to make sure I wasn't getting hacked (there weren't any google brandings or anything)

    I saw it, but now you have regular ads on again.
    Guess it was a hack, or Google tried something new.
    Strange that this ad was not branded with 'ads by google'

    They still seem to be there. And it's even stranger that the link is broken.

    Yeah, I just tried it and it's there. The link is broken, isn't it an invalid click? I think if they banned you, you'd have a good argument as to why you clicked yourself.
