I made this search (http://www.google.com/search?hs=Y9M&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buy.com%2Fprod%2FGoogle_Top_100_Simplified_reg_Tips_Tricks%2Fq%2Floc%2F273%2F39753936.html&btnG=Search) and the bottom and the ad for Buy.com is weird. Is this new?

Seems weird becuz only the keyword "buy" by itself will trigger and display in the footer "©2006 Google – Accepts Google Checkout Learn more"

i tried the words: purchase, buy now, buy it, checkout, check out .... but no luck there.

i believe its been before there but very unnoticable by the user becuz of the location its in (footer) and the single word used "buy" on the search.

Nothing strange is because that's not new, if I understand what you are talking about. The little icon next to the AdWords and on the bottom are being show when one of the adwords can be checkout using Google Checkout.

Maybe i misunderstood Jake .... but if you see what i meant, its weird that Google's SERP footer has the icon and the promo text only for the world "buy".
