REMEMBER- With LinkUnits there is another step in the process, Google's "landing page" were the searcher MUST make further "commitment" of interest to the advertisers by choosing which of the ads displayed to click... OR ignore all the ads and "back out of the deal" by hitting the back button of their browser and returning to the web site's page they were initially viewing.

In essence, this action is better qualifying the "leads" for advertisers as the web surfer must use more effort & display more commitment to view each "AdLink" advertisement. (imho)

So the notion of "blending" or "deceptive blending" shouldn't be much of a factor, as the surfer has the option of NOT continuing further to the advertiser's web site during the intermediate stage of the process.

Because of this, I would think that these ads should be worth just as much, if not more as regular AdSense text ads to AdSense Publishers (imho)
