Am I late on this?

I noticed Adwords is showing up differently...

I noticed today that there are no paid ads showing at the top of the page highlighted in blue.

Also, where there are more paid ads than can fit on a page, there is no link to see more paid ads. You have to choose the next page to view results...

What's up wit dis?

I'm still seeing the regular sponsored links at the top. No other changes evident here (US).

When someone sees something this odd, there are two things that leap to mind.

1. Google is experimenting and you saw one of the 'odd searches'.
2. You need to run a spyware detector on your system.

If you're seeing this consistantly, it'd vote #2 is more likely.

Also, not every search will have an ad, or ads, in the top spots.

Even the very same search done at different times will sometimes have ads at the top - and sometimes not.

It all depends on whether or not there are any (approved) ads which have met the additional performance standard to be sent 'Up North'.

AWA-

But I have searched many keywords in my many ads and NONE have shown yesterday and today...

And like I said, there is still no link at the bottom of the page for additonal sponsored results...

No big deal, but I noticed it all day yesterday and today...

I'm in the US and not experiencing this at all.

Blue "Premium" ads on the top and additional pages of "Sponsored Links" where needed, just like always.

Ok. Figured it out! When I go into preferences for google, if I use "Moderate Filtering" the blue ads up top vanish, and "More Sponsored Links" at the bottom disapeers.

Try it out and see if you get the same results. And if this is a 'rule' I wonder why this changes for "Moderate Filtering"?

A very interesting observation, metakomm - which I'll pass on. That's a new one on me.
