Google is Not Serving Ads on Homepage

Andy does a nice job updating his blog entry on the status of a page found at http://www.google.by/ that shows Google Ads on the homepage. Folks were freaking out, how can Google do this! These ads are not targeted, yada yada.

Few things noted at some of the threads out there. (1) The copyright at the bottom still says 2005. (2) The site looks unprofessional. (3) The domain name is not owned by Google (at least not yet)

For a screen capture of the site in its state of writing this entry, click here.
