another ad format

got an italic ad....

saw few of them yesterday on my forums + some ugly 'Ads by Google' images below the 'italic' ads.

I am getting the italic ads quite often.

Funny how we can't do anything to draw attention to ads, but they can do whatever they want.

Also seeing a little shopping cart looking image by ads at times as well. Notice how I said "image" by an ad, something else we are not allowed to do.

Here's info on the shopping cart: Inside AdSense: Now on an AdSense ad format near you: shopping carts

I see, thanks for the link.

They can play it off as this all they want though, I still think it is just a way to draw attention to the ads, something that they don't want us doing.
