AdSense not marked as ads on LinkedIn

[kevingibbons]

I thought this was a bit surprising and unlike Google, Google AdSense displayed without ad notice on LinkedIn.

Been like that for a while.

Says "Ads by Google"

[kevingibbons]

The link under the search feature doesn't say Ads by Google, at least not for me anyway.

Here's a full size screenshot where I've hovered over "SEO Compare The Definitive Top Five SEO Websites" so you can see the URL at the bottom of the browser.

I just realised my original post might have been confusing, the Ads by Google block on right-hand side is fine, it's the text link and description at the top of the page which is generated by AdSense but doesn't contain a sponsored links/Ads by Google notice.

[rustybrick]

I see what you mean. The line at the top....

[kevingibbons]

Yep, they've had ads like this at the top for a while but I've never seen them powered by Google AdSense before.

Its just a premium account.
Always been like that...


Look http://www.gumtree.com/london/london...nted_23_1.html

Ads at the bottom..

[rustybrick]

But even premium accounts need to label the ads as ads.

I am a premium adsense publisher.

Gumtree labels the ads as sponsored links

sorry.. I get you..

One thing I did by mistake a while back was to forget the 2nd JS include from the adsense code ..

This then removed the "ad by google" text..

e.g. normal code would be:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="0952010014";
google_color_border = "D8D8D8";
google_color_bg = "D8D8D8";
google_color_link = "025681";
google_color_url = "990066";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Remove the last inlcude..

Looking at linkedin source code its using internal JS hmmm ..
