I spotted it on a 468&#215;60 Google Adsense unit on a website and got some screenshots&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/adsense-links1.gif\" alt=\"Adsense and Keyword Links 1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The keyword links inside the Google Adsense unit are interactive. I was tempted to click the link (not on my site) to see what happened. I clicked on the first link &#8220;IP Lookup&#8221; and I got the ad below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/adsense-links2.gif\" alt=\"Adsense and Keyword Links 2\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Since I got another unit with changed ads and new keyword links, I decided to click the first link again to see if the process continued forever, but then I got a usual Adsense unit without any links as below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/adsense-links3.gif\" alt=\"Adsense and Keyword Links 3\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you perform a mouse gesture for &#8220;back&#8221; on your mouse, you can easily browse back to the second and then the first ad unit without reloading the page! And this is not always a 3 step process, you can get the normal ad on the first click too.<\/p>\n<p>It seems this <strong>Interactive adsense unit<\/strong> is a mix of the Link units and regular text ads unit. Clicking on these suggested links simply makes the units more targeted to the user needs and I assume the Adsense publisher earns money only when you actually click the text link ads. These links add to the clutter, but you never know when it becomes a regular features. All strange Adsense spottings become new features some day&#8230; if they work well.<\/p>\n<p>More <strong>strange Adsense ads<\/strong> spotted previously are favicons, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2007\/01\/google-checkout-icons-spotted-on-google-adsense-ads\/\">checkout icons<\/a>, google logos, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2006\/09\/google-adsense-text-ads-without-title-links\/\">no titles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2007\/02\/google-adsense-ads-with-titles-in-italics\/\">titles in italics<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2006\/09\/google-adsense-ads-without-ads-by-google\/\">no &#8216;Ads by Google<\/a>&#8216;.
