New Adsense Ad?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by satishtalim, Jun 10, 2007.

    I saw a new Adsense ad that said - View ads about and then shows a search box below it. This is the first time I have seen such an Adsense ad. Anyone else has had a similar experience? I wanted to check it out but could not do so as it's against Google's TOS to click an ad on one's own site!

    See the attached image.

    A search box instead of adsense links only unit is shown if there is no actual ads for that particular page to display. Adsense unit text+links shows a public service ads, unit with links only show this search box.
    There is no such setting in adsense setup but there might be a way to get this show permanently (not sure anyone would want that though).

    Nothing new..
    They are shown when no ads are available for a particular keywork.. May be due to less content.

    This is not a new ad. I saw this format of ads on my early days.
