Why is there no "by google" in image and flash ads?

    Today I clicked a few times on my own ads! I was not aware that it was Google Adsense.

    On one of my sites there is a rotation of Google Adsense, a CPM network and a CPS network.

    Both CPM and CPS use image and flash ads and are outsourced to an ad agancy. Today I saw two new ads and I clicked on them see that they were. There were 2 different ads, so in total I clicked 4x within a few minutes. Normally this is not a problem because they are CPM and CPS.

    With the last click my internet was slow and I realized the Google syndication URL, and “oh shit” I just clicked on Google Adsense, so Google may think this is click fraud!

    1. Is this going to have a negative impact on my adsense account?

    2. Why oh why, does Google not show “Ads by Google” under image and flash?

    you shouldn't click on your cpm network.they will do the same thing adsense does,ban you for click fraud.

    in adwords,say you want a 460x60 ad.you upload a 460x60 image and google formats it to 460x55 (or whatever it is) to fit the "ads by google".
    flash and some gif's cant be formated,so they are left without the "ads by google".

    1. You might get banned. Let them know and fix the issue up right away. If you wait until you accumulate $100 for the payout, you'll regret it even more.

    2. Some image ads show "Ads by Google", some do not. I am not sure why. Maybe the advertiser can pay to remove that line, if they want? (making a guess)

    go to your adsense account and look for the contact/support button ... you really should tell google asap, or they'll ban you !!

    yes, sometimes "Ads by Google" is not shown even under the text Ads( But its rare) . About flash Ads, .swf files( flash output files) are not easily customizable as compared to an image.So it occurs sometimes that the "Ads by Google" is not displayed and its not your fault at all. And I think this is even better that "Ads by Google" is not written, chance are people will click more.

    So cheers!!
