Google Testing Images Next to AdSense Text Ads

static.flickr.com — This is twice now, out of who knows more, I've seen a small (unrelated) image next to a Google text ad. No official word, so either Google is testing the response to these images for 1). personal study/possible use later, or 2). to open up to advertisers, the possibility of being next to the image, or even using their own image.

    In my example there's a TV next to a ringtone ad. Tell me how that relates? It doesn't. So I highly doubt your Black Cat is anything but chance.
  • MissBN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0On my dog site and my scooter site, an image of a black cat is shown verry often, for over 3 weeks already.

    Does this mean something ? Maybe my site has a panelty? In some cultures this means "bad luck", and it's not relevant to my sites.

    In The Netherlands, the origine of the sites, it means to be careful (if you beleve in it, but everyone knows it).
