I am a bit shocked by this! Try these searches:

- http://www.google.com/search?q=christmas
- http://www.google.com/search?q=candy+cane
- http://www.google.com/search?q=hanukkah
- http://www.google.com/search?q=kwanzaa

Now look at the ads on the right!

I have images at the blog entry I named Google AdWords Adds Holiday Colored Highlight Bar to Ads (http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/002956.html)

I don't know if they changed it back, but I tried both IE and Firefox and didn't see the images!!

I hear it doesn't work in all locations, specifically outside the US.

That is an entirely valid reason then, as I am in Canada.

Wow not sure what to make of this either. There nice clean index isn't looking so clean now is it??

Not at all, not at all.
But how can you argue with the holiday spirit? :)

Too true. Rather sneaky (or clever) way to introduce it eh. ;)

I liked the Holiday gift Google gave out this year for it's AdWords customers, $20.00, good marketing. I started using AdWords, once the Java patch went in. I lost my first page listings with Google. Now I am back on the first page, I did not make any changes to my website, it just appeard on the first page about 2 months afterwards.
