right, now i`m getting slightly annoyed now. Google appear to be playing games, over the past couple weeks i have been looking much closer at earnings with google adsense and how to maximize renevue. I have been unhappy with the fact that the title is not a hyper link and that you have click on the url iteself to view the advertised site!
Incredibly, i was looking again at the ads and i can now click on the title and that "IS" a hyper link, whats going on here?
Question...Is the title a hyperlink on your ads? is this something google turns on and off at will?

I can't think of a time when the title was not a hyperlink.

Even before Google changed it from the ad text not being hyperlinked -- the title was always linked.

At least it was for me.

And it was for me, too.

I've right clicked on titles many times. They've always been links.

my title has now reverted back to a non link, even though the cursor turns into a hand, it does not take you through to the next site.

I can with mine but all I ever see now days is meaningless gibberish. I'd post part of it here but I don't think that's allowed.

Certainly not the landing URL as it used to be.

[ADDED] Right clicking the displayed URL only offers to "create desk top short cut"

So if the displayed URL is not bona-fide I have no way of knowing.
