There are different formats and positions for the ads, which combine a small image with a standard text ad. Steve Poland spotted a blended ad that looked deceivingly similar to an image result.
"The big insight of Google wasn't text ads; it was that the ads should be conducive to the format. We were doing text-based search that was all textual. Visual ads don't work in that format," explained Marissa Mayer in February, when Google started to test video ads next to web search results.
Google Image Search prepares to become more useful by adding options to find similar images, recognize faces and objects. The new features will increase the site's popularity and will attract more commercial queries that could be monetized using display ads.
I think Google should just focus on its text ad programs - Adsense and Adwords instead of experimenting with image ads.

I think I remember seeing an ad in Google images a while back, too. Though I think it was at the bottom of the page when I saw it, not the top.
ReplyDeleteStrange that they don't have enough money yet at google and they have to continue down the road of less netiquette and more in-your-face crap. In the beginning they seemed to serve the internet community now they are becoming marketing bastards.
