Hello

Google system requires the link in very long URLs, like [pagead2.googlesyndication.com...] of stuff here)

Well, I see 2 points on this:

1. Some dummy people dont like to click on URLs like this, because they think it can run a script with virus, spyware or trojan, they get frightened with all that numbers & symbols and think his computer can get infected with malicious cookies forever. The fact of the domain be googlesyndication difficult to identify with the well-know google.com URL.

2. The Ad of google and the URL contains the URL of advertisor. This is right? Some of the people above can get interested in the content of ad and simply type the url directly in the browser, without click in adsense.

Should URLs be shorter? Should google remove URLs in the Ads?

thanks

If you hover above the Adsense URL it just says "go to www.example.com" in the IE staus bar. Anyone who knows enough to find out the real URL probably knows that Google is fairly trustworthy.

I put on adwords forum by mistake, but I think is different from the point of view of the advertiser and the webmaster subscribed to adsense ¬¬

If you go to manage colors pallete, you can specify the same color for URL and background, and they the URL will not appear...

(snip) oh, no, they are smart and prevent this :/, sorry...
