I've noticed on some of the text ads on my site there's a little grey flag. On further investigation (I think a rollover) it said that these sites use Google Checkout. Has anyone else seen this too? I felt it drew attention to the ads with this little flag (in a way if publishers did we'd probably be banned!).
What are other people's thoughts on this? Along with the move/change to Ads by Google I see it as a good thing. However I still view placement/colours as the main factors behind CTR .
