As of today (1 july 2010) google translate started popping up horrible flashing hotmail style adverts to the right of the translation box. The ads appear to be coming from googleads.g.doubleclick.net and googlesyndication.com. This seems *very* out of character for a Google branded page. Every other google branded page has the nice clean text-only ads. I hope this isn't a downward spiraling trend. I'm tempted to abandon the translate.google.com page if it continues. Here's a sample of the horrible flashing ads that have popped up lately: http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/imgad?id=CPXTgcaC2OD3URCgARjYBDII6IYclR1uyCU
So, what gives Google? Why ditch your tried-and-true text only ads? If anyone knows more about these adds and why the sudden shift from text-only to craptacular flashing garbage, I'd be curious to find out more. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
