I approached an interesting discover about Google adsense, there is a possibility that Adsense is tracking mouse over on their ads units.
Lets take a look at this pics,
MarketingRoutes found out that, there is an error on one of ads shown on his site. Instead of showing the title of the ad, you see an URL ending with a number ‘15′.
Here is the weird part. The author of MarketingRoute found that whenever he moving his mouse on that ad the number was changing to 16, 17, 18 and so forth, without any click made.
So what is your thought about this? I’m quite sure this is one of the script that blends together with the generated code provided by Google. There’s also an analysis to be made right? and serve the advertiser as its best. :)

Hmmm. Interesting indeed. It would make sense though to track this, as it lets you know about those that “almost clicked” but didn’t.
