People search for the oddest things. I have a little window into what people search for and I’m always fascinated by what people search for. How else would I learn that RedTube (that’s a safe link, but visit RedTube.com at your own risk!) is the YouTube of porn, or that there are a lot of Indians looking for rail travel?
Anyhow, as I was poking along the site I came across an example of scrolling AdSense ads on the government grants for women page. Since these ads don’t show up too frequently, I fired up Camtasia and did a little video for you shown scrolling AdSense ads in action:
If you can’t see the video, please follow this link: Scrolling AdSense Ads Demo.
If you see these on any of your sites, it’s quite safe to click on the arrows to scroll through the ads, but of course don’t click on the ads themselves. I suspect scrolling ads show up when there’s a lot of ad inventory available for a given topic. Search Google for government grants and you’ll see a lot of sponsored ads, and apparently many of the advertisers have the content network enabled in their AdWords ad campaigns.
OK, OK, back to my coding now…

Saw these on one of my sites and wondered what the heck was going on. Thanks for posting this now I know what those little up/down arrows are.
