Just noted, on http://dictionarysearch.mozdev.org/ , an ad, just under the page title, that simply states: Organize your pictures. Get Google's photo software.
It's a Picasa referral, obviously. But there's nothing to distinguish it as an ad, only when you hover your mouse over it, a tooltip "Ads by Google" appears.
I thought it was against Google policy to have an ad that isn't clearly distinguishable? Is this Google going evil, or the site owner doing something he isn't supposed to do?

It's a standard text link referral ad. They're available to anyone who uses AdSense. It's a bit of an odd place to put it though. I wonder what click-through / conversion rates they get. |
Oh, okay. Still think it's evil, though. ;-) |
Google is not GOING evil, Google has BEEN EVIL! Us Americans have made a Russian a $14 billionaire. |
yeah.. which earns 1 dollar a year..
stop crying about successful people.. Google is NOT evil, period! |
I also don't like undisclosed ads. Doesn't Google usually add the disclosure themselves, removing the need for webmasters to do so? |
