Google announced they are changing the "i" link found in the Google AdSense ads to "AdChoices."
The change is to comply with the online advertising industry's Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. It will allow Google "to more proactively give users notice and choice about the ads they see." Google explained:
Just like before, users who click on the "AdChoices" label will be taken to a page where they can learn more about online advertising and the ads they've just seen. This page will also provide a link to the Ads Preferences Manager, where users can control the types of interest-based ads they see. Our tests of this new icon and label showed that they should not have any effect on ad performance. We think this rollout will help users better understand the ads they're seeing, and we look forward to seeing widespread adoption of this label throughout the industry.
This is nothing really new, except the label change. Google has allowed users to report bad ads via that link since 2005.
Here are some pictures:

I like it because I think visitor choose which ads they want to see so this will make high probability to get clicked but I don't think visitor welcome with the Ads Preferences Manager

To me this change seems to be "suspicious" activity to mislead people who is tired to see Adsense everywhere.

I would like adchoices taken off my computer immediately. I do not want pop ups at all and I would NEVER purchase something that has gotten my goat.

I think Google have really done a great job by implementing this new security for publishers because it will helps web masters to control and ignore irrelevant ads on their websites as well as it will help visitors to visit which they are looking for. Thanks for news
