Glenn Gabe shared a screen shot on Twitter yesterday showing how for a query on [migraine symptoms] one of the ads listed had the green URL replaced with the type of web site it is.
Here is a screen shot but I can personally replicate it on mobile and desktop:
The change is actually a year old, as many pointed out to Glenn. Glenn even linked to a source that covered the change over here.
In short, FDA required Google to label these ads with the type of web site.
I guess it isn't seen so often, so I figured I'd cover it here.
Why is Google replacing a display url with the "type" of website?? I haven't seen this before. h/t @atypicalperiod pic.twitter.com/lWDsDXxRxj
