Google puts Adsense in Maps
Looks like Google Maps have begun inserting AdSense ads into the bottom of maps with the ads being related to the place being searched for. Digital Inspiration reported this as a new feature, and I’ve certainly not seen it before. I’m seeing this on lots of places in the UK - whether big or small.
Update: These are actually local business ads when there are local business ads available to show - but written as text ads at the bottom of the page.
