New Skyscraper format spotted?

7 ads no urls no "Ads by G"

[Nikke]

On a site where Google has been known to beta test new formats, I just spoted a large skyscraper ad, 160x600 pixels not displaying "Ads by Gooooogle" nor "Ads by Google".

The script sais google_color_text and the setting is black, but it is nowhere to be seen on the site. And it is not a CSS site, straight forward tables. So the Ads by G... isn't hidden.

This is what the code looks like (anonymized):

google_ad_client = "pub-nnnnnnnn";
google_alternate_ad_url = "httpee://www.domain.com/ads/affiliateskysc.htm";
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "160x600";
google_ad_channel ="nnnnnnnnn";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "336600";
google_color_url = "BFBFBF";
google_color_text = "000000";

could be just a premium publisher, no?

They have more flexible ad format options than the rest of us.

Many of the premium advertisers use an XML field not the code that the poster done postededed.

Premium publishers ad code have other fields like Keywords etc.
