Goooooooogle, Gooooooogle or Google?

I notice sometimes on adsense adblocks it says "Ads by goooooogle" and sometimes it says "Ads by google". Does anyone know if there is any meaning or relivance to the amount of O's in the word google on adsense blocks.?

Doesn't really mean anything, just something google started sometime ago and thought of it as ''fun''.

Apparantly it was (or is) some kind of test. Although as a beta test, it seems to have been around along time.


The ads served with lots of "o's" seem to be - at least on my site- a lot more
related to the page content. Those without extra "o's" are always "generic-style"
ads that have little, if any, relevance. Maybe that is just my experience though.

I once had a visitor to my site send me an email in which they told me I had
made a major error in the spelling of "google", and that this "error" was all over
my site.

These things can happen.
