March 23, 2009wow we sure don’t want this information getting into to many hand or it will kill or revenues! People can’t see the ads they definitely can’t click on them. As a webmaster it’s good to know seeing most website have very bad ad sense placement!
Nice little trick to stop accidental click as well from laggy pc days or laggy websites.
