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

todays earning seems littler higher than yesterday, but it sucks and looks cheap.

Hope google will remove this ASAP.

I thought Smeagol perished in Mordor?...It appears the tenacious little chap survived the fiery lava of mount doom and landed a lucrative job in google's marketing department :)

CTR cut in half from what it's been for the last few weeks.

Definetly a distraction, looks unprofessional and should go ASAP.

I thinnk it's a bit too early to draw any conclusions from your stats right now. CTR en EPC is down for me, but it's hard if not impossible to say whether this is caused by the new ooooo.

Haha Foxtunes!

It is dumb and just increases my feeling that Goooooo(etc)gle is rerunning all the old dot-com bomb nonsense. But, that said, I don't much care.

Ha- AdSense sites complaining that something looks "tacky".

Now I've heard it all!

[robho]

Why would any company want to dilute their brand with this sort of thing?

Imagine if a TV station sometimes decided their logo would be "NBBBBBBBBBBBBC" (or just BBBBBBBBBBBBBC) - how would you know what you're watching?

Or would you choose a Noooooooookia phone or Soooooooooooooony (with the logo sideways of course, to fit).

It's not clever marketing, or showing they are a "fun" company or anything like that. It's just plain daft.

It has been like that for a while on the small 1 ad unit.

As I wrote above my CTR is cut in half today. I initially attributed this to the bad looking Goooogle thing.

Investigating further, I see that Google is serving a large percentage of PSAs, at least for visitors from certain geographical areas.

I suspect that Google allowing up to three ad units per page may have resulted in some form of overload at one or more of their datacenters.

And I still want the Gooooogle thing off my pages.

Clicks may also be up if they added extra ad units.

Okay...I'll admit, it is too soon to know the impact of this...all I know is it just looks so "spammy" ;)
