    Anyone notice the change Google made where the bottom right hand corner of your ad units is now displaying "AdChoices" instead of "Ads by Google". Personally, I would rather click on link from something that has "Ads by Google" than "AdChoices". I put my faith in Google that this change will bring in more revenues for us. Only time will tell. What do you guys think?

    No, When you click on that it is redirecting you to Google adsense / adwords page.

    The option to view more ads by clicking the arrow has always been there.

    Maybe they are testing with Text Ads first??

    Yeah, i knew it before they made this change. Hope it'll bring more clicks since people are quite familiar with Ads by Google now so they'll take it as something new and click :p.

    Hope for the best ........... cheers

    I was initially very surprised by the appearance of new adsense. I guess my only experience this, but, it turns out all the publishers are also experiencing this.

    Image ads are bit less noticeable you have to hover over the little triangle thing at least to see it. Text ads I'm not sure if I like them or not. The ads by google is a little annoying at times too. I'll guess we'll have to see if there are any changes in our stats for a while.

    Self promotion maybe? Notice near the top of that page, there is a link to report violators to Adsense and Adwords. You know what this means. You will start seeing more posts on "why am i banned from Adsense"... :)
