Text link, Image ad, Flash Ad!

That would be a cool addition to the program. If they had flash ads, I would definately be interested in it, because flash ads would be more appealing to my targeted audience.

 

I also think this would draw the more flashier sites into using google adsense.

Aren't they already using flash ads? Today I've had a massive amount of AOL flash ads on my site...never seen them before.

 

You sure I thought google only served Text and Image ads?

 

I don't know, it's showing flash ads on my forums...I've never seen them before today.

Here's a screenshot

 

Hmmm that's odd are you sure you're not using an ad rotator and using another company?

 

I bet those really pay out a lot more too.

 

200% sure

They've only started showing these AOL flash ads today, before it's always been text ads or PSA's. A lot of them are still gif's but there are some flash ones.

 

That'll be so cool, and I'm sure publishers would make a lot more from them.

 

On the image, behind where you showed it was flash does it say Ads by google?

 

I notice you're using Yahoo ads on your site. What made you choose them over google ads?

 

No, it doesn't...strange.

 

Yes, very strange.

 

One of my sites are running Yahoo ads and my bigger site is running Google ads.

 

I sent them an email asking what's going on with this, I checked my code and there is nothing in there besides the code for google adsense, but when i right click some of the images, they're coming from these two sites.

wtf?!!

 

well whatever they've done, im happy...my CTR and clicks are double what they usually are...and I'm only half way through the day.

 

I'm all for flash ads, so long as Google exercises some quality control. I've seen flash ads from other networks, they'll have annoying sounds (like that "Shoot the paparazzi" one with the camera clicking) or those ads that extend when you mouse over.

Whenever I come across those, I hate them so much I'll reload to get another ad, if I get the same one I just go to another website.
