Ads by Goooooooooooogle

Anyone spotted the above with their ads? Kinda strange I think.

I wonder if they would approve an Adwords listing titled "MYYYYYYSITE.COM"?

No they might not, as it would make their website look bad and unprofessional.

Maybe it's a new type of Page Rank... a guage of the "oo" factor of the ad, as in "Oooo! look at those new jeans from XYZ Jean Co."

oaktown, JuniorOptimizer etc., I know it's a long thread but AdsenseAdvisor did pop in and comment (msg 70):

As many of you are already aware, we're testing out new branding features, which includes this 'Ads By Goooooogle' phenomenon. One of the things we're looking at is what impact 'Ads By Gooooogle' will have on the performance of the Google ads. Repeat: this is a test. :)
The team is definitely all ears to publishers' feedback, particularly all of you at WebmasterWorld. I'll be sure to pass your comments along.

If G's intent is branding, they blew it.

better than that - I think there might be a dilution of trademark issue here...

clearly Google doesn't have a trademark on Gooooooooooooooooogle - but that's how they're identifying the company...

this just seems incredibly stupid from a branding standpoint - it might get the a little attention at first - but only for a little while.

I don't think google is that stupid. I think they're up to something.

It's stopped on my site now, thank God (or should I say thank Goooooooood).

Clickthrough rates are continuing to drop on my site though. People are getting too used to the ads :(

I'm thinking that a number of AdWords advertisers are not at the moment because of this ooo situation.
