Well, actually I saw it on a site, and thought "ooh, that looks cool,
I'll do that on mine," I went to the newspage and it was there!

Just got an email from them...



Hello,

We're pleased to introduce a number of new features to your account.
Multiple ad units

To provide even more value to your users, and to help you further monetize
your web pages, we're allowing publishers to place up to three ad units on
every web page. Our system will automatically recognize the additional ad
units, and will serve unique ads to each. Your ad units can each have
different color palettes, formats, and alternate ad URLs, providing you with
the flexibility you need to incorporate Google ads into your site design.

Collapsing ad units

An additional option for your alternate ad content, Google's collapsing ad
units ensure that your page space is used to its maximum potential at all
times. When targeted ads aren't available for an ad unit, the collapsing ad
unit feature will shrink the empty ad unit, so that blank ad spaces are
eliminated from your page. For instructions on implementing this feature,
please read the AdSense FAQ.

New name for WebSearch

We're dropping the 'WebSearch' from 'WebSearch plus AdSense for search.'
This monetized search feature will now be referred to simply as AdSense for
search - but all of the same great features remain. For more information on
providing customized Google internet and site search to your users and
earning money from clicks on targeted ads, please read our FAQ.

Multiple domains for AdSense for search SiteSearch

Your Search Settings page now provides you with the option of specifying
multiple domains for SiteSearch. Simply enter up to three domains when
generating your search code - your AdSense for search box will list each
domain with a radio button, allowing your users to choose the site on which
they would like to search.

Ads by Goooooogle

We're currently running a test with new branding features on Google ads. You
may notice some of your pages displaying 'Ads by Goooooogle' ad units. We
welcome your feedback on this new look, and we'll be analyzing the results
of this test over the next while.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

All this probably means is that Google is trying to extend their branding so
that it not only covers the word "Google" but instead also covers any number
of the letter "o" between the "G" and the "gle". So that they can stop any
current and future uses of their name and names smiliar to their name... ie:
Google.com
Gooogle.com
Goooogle.com
Gooooogle.com
Goooooooogle.com
etc<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

So, they're asking us what we think of the extra "ooooo," personally I
think its silly and tacky, and will contact them about it if I can be
bothered. Besides, <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.goooooogle.com" target="_blank">www.goooooogle.com</a> isnt even registered to Google.

Hello Joe,

Thank you for your email. The Google AdSense team is currently testing new
branding features on some ad units. Google ads with an 'Ads by Goooooogle'
label will appear on a limited number of pages, and you may or may not see
them on your site. Please note that it is not possible for us to control
which pages or sites will display the 'Ads by Goooooogle' branding.

We appreciate your feedback about this test, and encourage you to continue
to let us know how we can improve AdSense for you. As AdSense is still a
young program, new features are under consideration and your feedback is
very helpful.

Please feel free to reply to this email if you have additional questions
or concerns. For technical support, please email adsense-tech.RemoveThis@google.com.


Sincerely,

Vickie
The Google Team
