I got another rich ad from Google Adsense on FatMixx. These are clearly widgets, not just plain old rich ads.
Why is it a widget? Because you can embed it. Check the “Share” tab out:
In fact, I’ll embed it here:
Hopefully that works. That’s a great advertising model.
Update: Hmmm, the embed tag doesn’t work… wtf? I’ve checked the code again and I don’t think I embedded it incorrectly… anyone have any ideas?
Update 2: I see what might be wrong. Should be fixed in a sec.
Update 3: OK, so Wordpress bit me in the butt again… this time, the dynamic_replaces in the wptexturize function replaces the x in 300×250 (see the different x?). That value was in the URL, so that broke the URL and kept the embed from working. I hate these fancy replaces WordPress has, and may finally just give up and turn it off. I do like the extra typographical flourishes, though… Just wish it would detect whether it was in an HTML element or attribute or script block. I fixed this by replacing the x in the URL with %78, the urlencoded value for a lowercase x in utf-8.
