URL's no longer showing in certain ads?

    I noticed urls are no longer showing in certain ads on my site, such as in leaderboard and banners. Only the text ad itself is shown. I hope this is something google has decided to try out, and hopefully will stick with.. Seems to increase the ctr some, I guess because it now looks more like part of the site itself than ads. Would be great if they removed the "Ads by google" links too ;) Anyone else experienced this lately?

    The 'Ads by Google' link is removed only for premium publishers.

    ok. But what about the urls in the ads? Is it something new that they are not shown, or has it been like this before too? I notice they seem to show sometimes and other times not. Maybe some experiment they are doing, just like they seem to do with the google logo that sometimes appears now instead of the normal "Ads by Google" text link

    Not sure about that but probably an experiment to check the CTR and conversion rates.

    sounds like you have poor content on some pages which dont bring enough ads...

    Get 2 million page views in order to get a premium seat and remove ads by google label i hope some days you will be there :D

    What do you mean? Theres no problem with ads not showing. Its just that the urls of the advertised sites are not showing in certain ad units any more, just the ad itself is showing (title and text). And this is not a problem for me, quite the opposite hehe

    Urls doesnt show in banners and half-banners, and sometimes not in leaderboards. Looks very good that way

    I have never seen any urls in banner type ads, though all other formats contains urls too. Google doesnt show urls in banner formats i think.
