Sankar,
there weren't any image ads before on Orkut?

yeah David!

this is the first time....

cool..

nice spotting then!! :)

I like how Google pretends that orkut is someone else's site.

"ads by Google"

They do list the "sponsored links" which all the other Google services have.

I wonder if the ads help finance the Orkut department rather than Google itself?
